My doctor has told me i may have fibroids?

first of all i think i may need a new supportive doctor. Not because he said i may have fibroids, but because, yesterday at my yearly when he said my uterious felt a little lumpy and i said and that is a little tender where you are pressing, he says it is probably fibroids, okay ive heard of these but never really new what they were, or how to take care of them, so i ask doc what is that, he say eh not much i will schedule u for ultra sound in 4 weeks, and he left the room thats it, in a past post i did not get my period and went to docs did preg test it was neg, so got this appt. i did get period in sept was very heavy for 3 days and then completely gone, so i say doc remember last month i was here, i tell him, and he say probably heavy because build up, well this is not normal for me, so now you say i May have fibroids, but dont tell me symptoms, i did do research on fibroids but nothing about them says one symptom could be missed period, long story i know but what are fibroids

Uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus. Fibroids can grow on the inside of the uterus, within the muscle wall of the uterus, or on the outer surface of the uterus.

Many women who have uterine fibroids do not have symptoms. When symptoms are present, they are usually mild and may include:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as heavier, longer periods or bleeding between periods.
Pelvic pain, including pain during sex.
Low back pain that does not go away.
Urinary problems.
Occasionally uterine fibroids may cause more serious problems, such as infertility, blockage of the urinary tract or bowels, or anemia.

Home treatment can usually relieve and control the mild symptoms of uterine fibroids. Medications or surgery may sometimes be needed if uterine fibroids are causing severe symptoms or other complications.

I found that on yahoo health. It doesn't mention missed periods, but it might possibly happen. If you are that uncomfortable with him, get another doctor. Good luck.
