Does oestrogen feed fibroids?
I’m currently in a lot of pain, in my left side/ lower back/ pelvic and hip area. Over the counter tablets don’t touch the pain.
I had a CT scan a couple of weeks ago. All organs clear apparently, but a bulky uterus was detected. Last September they found a small fibroid in the left area and I’m wondering now whether the HRT has been feeding the fibroid or indeed if more have grown?
I can’t have an ultra sound until 26th July.
I rang the nurse who fitted my coil on Thursday. She said it could be the coil has shifted, but a scan will detect that. No bleeding.
Went to a&e during the week asi was in so much pain and was told to up the pain killers and wait for scan! Oh and it could be musculoskeletal!
Kidney, gallbladder, fallopian tubes and ovaries all clear.
The pain is like a sharp stabbing burning twisting pain all on the left side. It’s there all the time and I just don’t know what to do.
My plan once the scan is done, is to ask for a gynaecology referral and ask for a total hysterectomy.
Christ it just never ends 😢
