Hi,
Thanks for writing here
Firstly i would like to know whether fibroid was only the positive finding in your x rays and pelvic scans?if is it so then only 7mm fibroid wont cause a swelling in abdomen i.e. stomach as you say.
It is also necessary to do a USG abdomen
If all these tests show nothing and swelling is local,get it checked from a general surgeon.
From the information you provided this is what i can comment.
With regards,
Dr.Akash Jain.
