Fibroids and Constipation !!!!?? |
I was diagnosed with fibroids about a year ago and they have grown significantly since. I have decided to have a myomectomy in the summer of '08 because my symptoms aren't that bad. However, the fibroids are causing constipation!! I always feel bloated and have a little poochy belly all the time. Anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with this until the surgery? Is it bad to use OTC laxatives (like the glycerin suppositories) 1-2X a week? Thanks! I underwent a myomectomy 3 weeks ago. Good luck with this- so far my results are favorable. I had 11 tumors removed, 6 of which were at least 4 in in diameter. I did not suffer from constipation prior to the surgery, but I did afterwards. In fact, I stayed longer at the hospital due to it. My best solution was a laxative, originally. Now, I've been able to stay regular with a stool softener, 8-10 glasses of water daily, and fiber rich foods. Vegetables and fruit are good for your diet and for relief of constipation. Good luck, again! Try increasing your fiber intake through fruits and veggies or a supplement like Metamucill. If this doesnt help I would use a laxative, but be sure you dont take too much and be sure to be close to a toilet at all times! My mom has fibroids and she drinks herbal tea. She gets it from the herb lady. I think her website is herbsistah.com. It really works. She started drinking it a year ago and the fibroids shrunk and she stopped having pain. Glycerin suppositories are the least harmful things you can use |
