I had a D&C and ablation in 2010 due to heavy painful periods. I had a uterine fibroid that measured 1cm at the time. My doctor said not to worry about it. I have had cramping ever since the procedures and at time it is very painful. Had a transvaginal ultra sound and pelvic catscan done. I was told that that 1cm fibroid is now 5cm in size, The doctor said not possible because it couldn t grow after ablation. Im so confused. I am now 51 years old. 3 normal pregnancy s with the 3rd one ending in emergency c-section. I have massive scar tissue from the incision as it goes hip to hip. Is it normal to have cramping for all this time.. ? We discussed hysterectomy but doctor said that it could be my bowel? Now I am really confused. any input would be greatly appreciated.
