I know I have fibroids. I'm wondering if my collection of problems could be mostly due to the fibroids, and whether I need to try and pursue some kind of surgery / a hysterectomy. I currently have Mirena which has stopped the heavy bleeding which is amazing but these other issues are really affecting me. Welcoming any theories! Thinking of calling GP during the week.
- Bloated, swollen tummy (can feel it pressing in when lying on front, get asked if I'm pregnant due to the shape, despite being size 10/12 and losing weight recently)
- Can feel a hard lumpy area in my vagina up behind my cervix, wondering if something is prolapsing or pushing in.
- Need to wee twice in the night and frequently throughout the day, to the extent people comment on it.
- Sorry TMI but can't do a "proper" poo like I used to only mini ones!
- Intermittent swelling for a day or so e.g. hands feeling puffy.
- Zero libido :/
- Mood swings (get inexplicable rage every so often).
- Cystic acne, seems hormonal / cyclical
I am guessing the last few could be Mirena side effects.
