Uterine tumor - #29305
I am freaking out because I found out I have a uterine tumor. Like, I went to the doc for some abdominal pain, thought it was just gas or something, and next thing you know they’re telling me about this uterine tumor. They did an ultrasound and said it’s about the size of a lemon. I read a bunch about uterine tumors online and they seem to be all over the place – some people say they can be harmless, but others freak out about needing surgery. Ugh, so confusing!! I’m 35 and have two kids so I wasn’t expecting this at all. Like, how common are uterine tumors in women my age? What are the signs I should look out for? And is there a chance this thing could turn cancerous? I just keep thinking about this uterine tumor, and how fast my life can change just like that. My doctor mentioned some options like watchful waiting or surgery, but I don’t know what to choose. Did anyone here have a similar experience with a uterine tumor? What should I do next? I’m so unsure right now!!
