dVH/RALH: Irregular bowels

During this process I have noticed all kinds of changes. I have cramping in my stomach every day and my bleeding has mostly turned to spotting. I feel like every day is a period day. I have recently noticed that my bowels have seemed to have changed and I'm not as regular as I once was. My bowels are shorter and kind of flat. According to my doctor ...my fribriod is small but it sure causing a lot of issues. Anyone else dealing with the same issues?

Good afternoon from a fellow fibroid sister! I didn't have issues like you've mentioned; my main issue was with a jumbo grapefruit pressing on my bladder, causing incontinence issues. However, the uterus does sit directly in front of the rectum, and I have heard from other sisters having issues similar to yours, from fibroids in the back; I had hemmhoroidal bleeding from a smaller fibroid pressing on my iliac vein - the one that comes out of the small intestine. The good news is that after my surgery, these issues were completely resolved, as I hope they will be for you. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a smooth recovery!
