Fibroid size

Can you guys give me an idea of the size of your fibroids?? I've been told I fave one intrauterine mass about the size of a golf ball. Then I have TWO more tennis ball sized fibroids. h, and one smaller one.

What is the "normal" size of a uterus?

My gyn told me that a "normal" uterus is between 7 & 9 cm and my fibroid is over 7 cm, so it's bigger than my uterus should be. He also said my uterus was enlarged, but never said anything about the actual measurement.

I have at least 2 fibroids, but the size of one, which is 9 cm (about 4 in wide) hides the other ones. That.s about the size of a big orange.

If I'm lucky, they shoudl be removed by June and hopefully, I will not need Hyster.

Hmmm.......My fibroid is the same "orange" size Yet this "orange" sized fibroid, feels more like a medicine ball. YUK and double YUK.

This may sound really dumb but I have no idea how big my fibroids are. The doc told me that I have them and that my uterus is at 14 1/2 weeks. All I knew was that I have been having trouble with it for years and when they said it would be all over with hyst, I jumped on it. Should I have asked how big they were?

Well, I moved up my surgery date to April 21! I wasn't even supposed to start my period today. I drove two hours to get to a customer, only to discover that I'd actually bled through my pants without even knowing that I'd started my period!!! Usually when I start, I'll spot alittle for the first hour or so as a "warning". This time is like no other. So, it dawned on me that thigs are not going to get better until I do sometihng.....

I was just curious to see what my situation is like compared to others. I feel like I am whining about this all the time. But I swear, I am actually light headed and dizzy as we speak! How can a person have any kind of life when you feel like crap all the time???

My fibroid is about 9 cm. I also have a 3 cm. ovarian cyst, so I don't know what is actually hurting.

My hurting is interfering with my life. I love my Lortab, but it only dents the pain.

Whine on, sister.

Hi Chopem, You may be dizzy due to anemia. Has your blood count been checked? The normal size of a uterus, from my research, is 8cmx4cmx4cm and weighs about 80 grams. Before my hyst, they were able to identify 2 fibroids outside my uterus, one 8x8x6and the other smaller golf ball size. When I got my path report I had other multiple fibroids in the uterus and it measured about 11x6x4, weighed 374 grams and the monster fibroid was about 9x8x6. The docs usually describe an enlarged fibroid uterus by the pregnancy size it approximates. No one ever did that with me- I think because the ones that showed up and were the most troublesome were outside. I only ever heard that my uterus seemed a little big for someone who hadn't had children. I'm sorry you're having this trouble but glad that you can move your surgery up.

Hi Chatou,

I am also from Montreal and I was wondering how they were going to remove the fibroid and at which hospital. I have been on this site since January and have yet to encounter anyone from around here. I will be having a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy on April 27th at the Jewish General Hospital. Would be interested in hearing from you.
