Ask A Doctor
I’m standing in my kitchen, making breakfast, when—as if a tap has been turned on inside of me—I start hemorrhaging vaginally. I race to the bathroom, where it takes a half hour for the heavy bleeding to stop.
Light-headed and panicky, I call my gynecologist, who says to come in right away. "Your uterus is about the size of a fourteen-week pregnancy," my doctor, Stephen M. Gallousis, M.D., tells me later. My uterus isn’t nurturing a fetus, but large fibroids are making my life miserable.
Two years earlier, a routine exam showed a small fibroid, a benign tumor that develops from uterine muscle. Mine was on the outside of my uterus and caused no trouble.
