Fibroids and an enlarged uterus?


If I have an enlarged uterus not due to pregnancy will that cause my tummy to look as if I am pregnant. And no I am not overweight. Also do fibroids come with tummy pains on a regular basis?

Yes it may. I faced the same problem as you. In 2005 I had uterine fibroids as big as 16 weeks pregnant. I was on diet at that time and lost some weight. As a result my tummy looked quite big. I had surgery at that time and doctors removed 28 fibroids!
My tummy looked smaller after the surgery but unfortunately the fibroids grew again in just 1 year, this time bigger then before, as big as 20 weeks pregnancy. I had heavy bleeding during my period and surprisingly, no pain. But I looked 5 months pregnant, people used to ask me if I'm pregnant or not. It was embarrassing.
Luckily I'm pregnant now with so many fibroids, hopefully doctors will remove all the fibroids or the uterus so that I'll have permanent remedy from the problem.
Trust me , if your fibroids grow fast you'll look pregnant.

Depends on how large your uterus is, but for the vast majority of cases, an enlarged uterus is highly unlikely to make you look as if you were pregnant.

Fibroids can cause cramping, particularly around the time of your period. They can also cause heavier, longer and/or more irregular periods. Hope this helps!

Aj : )

i had a full hysterectomy due to fibroids they cause you to have severe bleeding some cramping and lots of clots it never made me or anyone i knew look pregnant nor did i have bloating. first you should see your dr to rule out being pregnant and discuss ways to elivate your symptoms
