Enlarged uterus

Hi everyone ... Today I went for my two week post op appointment and my surgeon told me that I definitely endometriosis but he also mentioned that usually the uterus is 60 grams but mine was 105! Thankfully there was no cancer but I don't understand how it got so big? What exactly does it mean to have an enlarged uterus?

Re: Enlarged uterus

Mine was also way too big (1,248 grams though) and in my case, it had just turned into a giant fibroid. A fibroid is a benign thing -- strictly speaking, it's a tumor, but it's one that just sits in one place and grows as opposed to a malignant tumor (what we think of as actual cancer), which can wander off and cause trouble in unpredictable places.

Re: Enlarged uterus

Hi! Besides irregular bleeding (twice a month) I had mine removed because it was enlarged. It was full of fibroids which caused a lot of pain and the excess bleeding. I don't know how many fibroids I had or how many grams it was but I was told it was enlarged to about 9-12weeks pregnant size. It was able to fit through my vagina for removal so I imagine it wasn't too big.

Enlarged uterus

Mine measured at 1300 grams due to enormous fibroids (and I took medication for three months to shrink them prior to surgery). It may be possible the endom may have enlarged it. It sounds like you are doing well. Take care!
