Discouraged
Okay so I (25F) just recently discovered I have fibroids 10 months ago. And on doing ultrasound, I had a big fibroid (12 by 10cm). Went to the doctor and did the whole routine check ins, I was told to do the surgery.
Now the issue is, my parents are aware of the whole fibroid issue and my dad/ friends keeps saying there is no need to do the surgery seeing as I’m not getting married or looking to give birth soon.
But the thing is I look like I’m pregnant, always bloated (I have very few off days when I don’t feel bloated) and sometimes have the crazy back pain.
Now I don’t know if I should take their advice and wait or still go on ahead to remove it. And also, if I don’t remove it and it keeps growing, what’s the worst that could happen?
I’ve always had bloody periods lasting 5-7 days and painful cramps since the first time I’ve had a period (11 years of age) but before I discovered the fibroids, that’s a year ago, the cramps stopped when I changed location. And now I’m confused as to whether to remove it or still look pregnant 🥲
