Today the doctor from the clinic called and told me the results from the ultra-scan. It turns out that I had fibroid and according to the doctor I had a lot of fibroid! She said it in such a non-chalent way.. how empathetic. Anyway she said that she'll be referring me to a gyne in KK.
Well the good thing is, the pain has ceased since Saturday. And I do believe that it's the answered prayer at cell on Thursday. Thanks you all for praying for me. I have to admit that it's still scary. Hearing the way the doctor described it, it's a lot of fibriods! So not comforting.
For those of you who are clueless on what fibroid is, fibroids are tumors consisting of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue growing within the walls of the uterus. These tumors, also sometimes referred to as uterine myomas, are usually benign. They are common in women approaching menopause. (Hence the doc was initially skeptical that I had it) Fibroids may be as small as a pea or grow to more than eight inches in diameter.(Yes trust me it can be huge. My mom had them and apparently, she had it when she was expectng me and the doc thought she had twins!) Not sure if an operation is needed to remove them. But at least it doesn't hurt now. To trust that my stupid sister said this to me before my check up, " ..take comfort that you're actually not that fat coz that things actually weighs a lot!".. Thanks!
