Ovarian Cancer Or Fibroids
fibroids discovered during pelvic exam. enlarged uterus and ovaries, what does this mean for my mom?
My mom has fibroids (just found out yesterday, and went in for ultrasound today) Her dr. said her uterus and ovaries are enlarged and she has a lot of fibroids. She doesn't know much else yet because she is waiting for the results, but my mom's side of the family have all (pretty much) had ovarian cancer and survived. Do you think my mom has it? I know we have to wait for her results, but I am nervous and want to know what you think. Also how do you remove fibroids? How long will she have to be out of work and how painful is it for her?
Also,
She found out about the fibroids because she has had excessive menstrual bleeding and they did an exam because of the amount of bleeding.
What can she expect? Should she be ok? She has pap smears every year or two and they have been fine so far.
Thanks so much!
your moms condition of having multiple fibroids involving for sure the uterus and may be the adjacent tissues like the ovaries or the ligaments is so far not dangerous as u r thinking, but yes it can if its left untreated as there are many many changes happen in the fibroids and one of it is can undergo cancerous changes. the answer to ur second question is the treatment , the OB/GYN will take care of that after her thorough tests feedback and her personal examination. the treatment is surgical removal of the uterus along with the adnexal tissues like the tubes and ovaries etc etc. regarding her work she should rest for 6 to 8 weeks and can be assessed by her doctor if she needs more or not. as for the pain any surgery there will be pain for 2 to 3 days which is taken care by analgesia and sedation .she need to have rest and may be physiotherapy . so do not worry as ur mom will be absolutely alright but definately she has to undergo surgical removal.
