I’m new here. Fibroid the size of a tennis ball 😥
2019- first diagnosed with a 4.3cm intramural right side fibroid.
2023- it had grown to 5.8cm
Today- grown to 7.8cm
I was told it’s the size of a tennis ball, and it’s slightly pushing on my bladder. I have absolutely no symptoms except slight bloating in lower stomach, but it seems to be mostly after I eat or drink even the slightest amount. I do wake up in the night to pee once, but that’s been going on for at least 2 years and doesn’t bother me much. However, I’m so scared by the “tennis ball” comparison. Will it keep getting bigger?! I just turned 47 and perimenopausal. I have no other reproductive issues or period problems.
But I’m still so terrified and can’t get it off my mind!! I have no one to talk to about it. Is this a common fibroid size?? What can I expect?! I’m worried. Any help/advice is so appreciated.
