Finally! I feel validated!
I went for a CT scan yesterday to satisfy the urologist that nothing was internally wrong before my hysterectomy. He wanted to make sure that the bladder pains I've been having weren't stones or any other problem. As he went through the CT scan prints, he was saying that "the kidneys look normal", "the ureturs look normal", and then he stops for a long time. He finally says "Your uterus is huge!" I always knew I had an enlarged uterus, but my GYN would never say exactly how big it was. The urologist said that is was so enlarged that it has pushed the bladder down and into a U-shape, with one half of the bladder pushed off to the left and the other half pushed off to the right. I asked if that explains why I am getting up 4 times a night to pee. He said it probably explains all my little aches and pains. Since all other tests had found no fibroids, no endo, etc., I have been second guessing my decision to do this for awhile. I finally feel like I have made the right decision. The reason for my hysterectomy is dysfunctional uterine bleeding, enlarged uterus, and hyperplasis. Isn't it great when the doctor's realize that it's not just all in your head?

Me Too
I had the exact same thing happen to me. Dr. thought it was all in my head I would go to pee and it felt like bladder was full and only a little driblled out, my fibroid is so large it is also affecting the intestines that is why I have the pain and gas. I am scheduled for surgery on 12/3/03 good luck to you!

Hey there neighbor! I'm sorry for everything you've had to go through, but isn't it great to know there is a REASON for it? And that it will soon be repaired?
It looks like you really will be a new woman for the new year!
