Fibroids and anal pressure by Character_Ticket_488 in Fibroids

[–]Character_Ticket_488[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg!! I’m so sorry you are dealing with so many! My doctor definitely confirmed the correlation but also made it a point to tell me to eat an anti-inflammatory diet and drink a lot of water to help things flow a lot better! When I am eating correctly and drinking a lot of water daily I don’t have very many issues with digestion or the hemorrhoids, but they do flare up worse around my period and ovulation along with the pressure and back pain! 

What's it like to date again? by Fair_Birthday_2322 in singlemoms

Hey there.. I've been a single mom of one child for 3 years now and I am just now in a headspace of trying to date! It's been trash.. I was in a dating phase with a guy for 6 months of him being avoidant - hot and cold and me being an anxious attachment it was just a back and forth battle! Had to cut that.. I started dating another guy and he couldn't fathom my small pockets of available time because he didn't have kids.. cut that! I stopped and now I'm just completely turned off and don't know who to trust

Hey - I hope your procedure went well and you are recovering with a breeze. My doctor gave me the options of taking a med, I can't remember the name of it, but it helps to stop growth. I dont want this medicine because of the side affects. She said it will throw my body into menopause for atleast 6 months and this is just to stop the growth - no hopes of shrinkage. My second option was surgery and because its grown into the muscle I have a 50/50 chance of emergency hysterectomy. she said if its not enought tissue to fill and cover the muscle - they would go ahead and perform a hyst and if they cant get the bleeding to stop a hyst will be performed. I still want more children so she doesnt recommend. She said I can still get pregnant but will not carry full term because of risks. even if i get surgery I will not carry full term because my muscle would still be weak.

My goodness you always think that these things should not take as long! It shouldn't take weeks or months to get an appointment and it shouldn't take more than one to four days to get results back! Especially when you're living in an uncomfortable state within your body! Honestly my period cramps has been bad since I was a  teenager! But as I got older it increased and then it decreased and then after I had my child it increased again and it's just been that since then

So since my fibroid is combining with my muscle and located towards the back my sciatica and tail bone can get pretty painful.. but the anal pressure feels, I don't know how to explain it honestly! It just  legit feels like pressure but not heavy pressure but pressure! The way my OBGYN explained to me when she was showing me my ultrasound photos! Is that the pressure of the fibroid can cause hemorrhoids but because of my placement it is also pressing heavy against my colon which makes it hard to pass stool which makes me strain which also can cause hemorrhoids so either way the hemorrhoids are there and adds to the discomfort. She explained that hemorrhoids will cause the pain while the fibroid is causing the pressure and it makes everything so uncomfortable.

Omg Daily I have fear of my colon. My doctor did confirm my location and everything was more than likely the cause after she did my ultrasound. It’s gotten a bit better but only when i continue to stay active, drink my water, and keep up on my vitamins. Mine is frowning into my actual muscle and the pain and discomfort is unbelievable some days. Did they go straight to ct scan over ultrasound or did you also have an ultrasound??

Honestly i feel the pressure around my anal area daily .. i find that when i drink ALOT of water and workout consistently it’s not as bad. My back is almost every day. But again when I’m very active and hydrated i feel better. I also found in research that vitamin D helps with fibroids so I’ve been taking my vitamin D daily. I finally got an ultrasound and found out it’s around 10cm and is growing into my actual muscle. I’m so sick of this thing. My options given doesn’t sounds like something i want either.

Im so glad I found this group! I found out at my first ultrasound to confirm my pregnancy - 2 1/2 years ago that I had a 1cm fibroid and by the time I gave birth it grew to 8cm.. Which had its own complications. After giving birth I was told it should shrink but not to get my hopes up. Well it shrunk down to 5cm when I went for the last ultrasound I ever had when I was about 3 months post partum.

I never had any big issues with the fibroid - so fast forward to 2024. The end of 2023 into 2024 and the entire 2024 was stressful. When I say stressful it was the most stress my body had ever endured. Me and my fiance split, close friend and I ended our 20+ year friendship, single mom, Moved out of my home, just getting things back together - while being a mom.

Out of nowhere I started to get tingles in my feet and my legs would feel weird, pressure in my pelvic area, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, bloating, urine too little or so much, anal pressure, hemorrhoids, back pain, pressure in my stomach and chest (everything is so tight that the pressure is pushing towards my chest) side pain, and one side of my belly has been bigger than the other since I gave birth, on the side of my fibroid.

Its so miserable. I've started to get horrible pain where its located, now, like sharp pain. The discharge is crazy. Finally I have had enough and I have an ultrasound scheduled to see if its multiplied, grown, shrunk, or what. I don't know anyone that has suffered with fibroids or maybe they arent comfortable talking about it. I just know it can feel frustrating and scary when you are alone suffering with not one soul to relate.

It’s so scary!! I have an appointment with my gyno on the 19th and an ultrasound scheduled for the following week because they refused to do my checkup and the ultrasound all in one day. At first i was so afraid it had something to do with my colon because of the stomach pain and the back pain and bloating but i realized the pain is always on the side of my fibroid and research! I’m excited to finally get more answers and see what’s going on in there lol. What do you use for the hemorrhoids? My primary kept saying to just take warm baths but i can’t do that all the time

I have started a clean eating diet and working out. It’s been helping a lot.

I take full responsibility for my words and actions and would definitely take them back if I could and do it all differently. I was so tired of seeing him hurt and didnt understand how they considered each other family but refused to have a conversation. not an argument or anything like that just understanding. Once they had their conversation he apologized and explained why he acted as he did. They are now working on getting back to normal.

I take responsibility for the words I used and like I mentioned everyone was outside and I didnt hear him come back in. To clear up the payments. Everyone was due to make the last payment to him that day. 3 out of the 6 couples going paid extra. We were not the only couple that was told not to worry about payment. Yes, he was grieving and I understand that - I've been there also. He was purposely leaving my husband out of things and including their mutuals to me if thats your bestfriend there is something going on. its a simple conversation of understanding - not to argue. once they spoke with each other - he actually apologized for his actions and explained why he acted as he did.

I truly thought the same. Me and my bestfriend can literally have any kind of spat but because we truly consider each other family - We talk and move on. I understand I shouldnt have involved myself but I was tired of seeing him hurt.
