I have been having severe abdominal pain for some time now, I just had a transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound performed. The results show a 3.2cm fibroid in the mid posterior myometrium, with no free fluid.All my Dr wrote on the report was "follow up with OBGYN" What is this really saying?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Fibroid is a growth on the uterus. It can be lying on the outside when the as no symptoms. It can be in the wall of uterus or projecting inside the uterine cavity when it can cause pains, bleeding. Your Doctor has referred you to the Gynecologist as She can help to determine the nature and any relation to the pain you have. If this is the reason, you have to surgery for removal of the fibroid if you are in the reproductive age group and want a child; r hysterectomy if you do not want to extend the family. If the reason for your pain is not fibroid, we have to find out. This can be done by a clinical examination by a Surgeon, CT scan of abdomen, diagnostic laparoscopy and related blood, urine and stool tests. The treatment will depend upon the diagnosis.
