Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

I can't recall the measurements, but the fibroid and uterus weighed eight pounds.

Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

I had multiple fibroids, don't know how big they all were. Gyn told me my uterus was the size of a 22 wk pregnancy and weighed 1,030 grams. I go for post op checkup next week, I'll try to remember to ask for more details. I do know my tummy is much flatter now!

Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

I had one the size of a softball, 3 like baseballs and a cluster of about 20 that look like testicles (they really do, lol). Pretty freaky looking over all.

ETA: My bladder is also much happier. I haven't had any leakage since the surgery.

My biggest was 14 cm x 9 cm and was sitting on the top of my uterus...doctor had to remove that one before he could start the actual hysterectomy. My uterus was also fiboided but not sure on the specifics.

Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

My last CT measurement had my uterus at 14.9 x 23.5 x 22.3 cm and there was a large dominant mass of 20 x 11 which I assume was the largest fibroid of the bunch. I had a 6 mos uterus - should be the size of a pear and mine was the size of a "basketball". I did not ask for "after" measurements. I was told it was the talk of the ob/gyn group at the hospital as many had never seen a fibroid as big as my largest and that was renpough for me. It was also noted that it had started to die and had been even larger at that point.

When I do something it seems I always have to excel....

Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

Just had 4 week follow-up, got my report...Here are some of the highlights:

"..an exceedingly large and lumpy uterus weighing 1030g and measuring 18.5cm in length including the cervix, 12.0 cm in width at the fundus and 9.0cm in thickness at the fundus."
"... The normal contour of the uterus is obscured by innumberable bulging subserosal fibroids..."
"The largest fibroid is within the fundus and measures 12.0cm in diameter."

Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

My fibroids were 10 cm x 7cm and growing about 3cm per year. My uterus was the size of an 18 week pregnancy and once they were removed I was 3kgs lighter! A drastic way to loose weight .....

Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

Mine was the size of a basketball. My doctors said I was 7 1/2 to 8 months pregnant. I have pics of my stomach before the surgery and my doctor took pics of the fibroid inside of my uterus. HUGE is all I will say. My back and my bladder are grateful!!!

Re: Just Curious about fibroid/tumor sizes

Mine was about the size of a baseball on my left ovary. never felt it so didn't know how long I actually had it. It was in a location that was hard to identify and diagnose.
