Painful fibroids in pregnancy?


please help any diet?hi is there a remedy for dealing with fibroids pains during pregnancy ?I am in serious pain but hospital says there is nothing that can be done except codeine pills

Unfortunately the only real treatment for fibroids is either a hysterectomy or, in women who still want children, surgical removal of the fibroid. As you are pregnant these are obviously not options for you.
Are they sure it is the fibroids causing such pain as usually they are painless? I would have a word with your doctor to make sure everything else is alright...that nothing else is causing this pain, and to discuss pain control with him although what you can take is limited.
I know of no diet that can help but maybe something such as a TENS machine may be of use. This is a machine that passes a minute electrical current to you via electrode pads, it is often effective with chronic pain... your midwife can advise you on there use.
Good Luck...I hope you soon feel better.

Doesn't sound like fibroids as never heard of pain like that with them. And is your Doctor of his head telling you to take codiene tabs while pregnant. Only safe analgesis is Paracetamol x2 every 6 hours. Codiene addictive and not good for you or the baby

you may have a cyst.............and they cant see it because of the baby,is codeine safe in pregnancy,fibroids can hurt depending on where they are situated.
What ever the case you need to get they to look and check again..............
