I had my results back which I have a number of large fybriods and been given a new drug to help reduce the bleeding and shrink the fybroids 

the past 3 days I’ve had sever pains in my abdomen like really bad period pains that I haven’t had before on this drug 

I’m not sure if it’s really bad period pains or something else happening I’ve also got a bulging tummy to the right side 

I just don’t feel myself I’m really anxious all the time and stressed even tho they’ve said there’s no cancer just large fybriods and 4 of them 

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    Unfortunately, we cannot give you specific medical advice on this forum. Do let your GP know about your abdomen pain and see what they say. You probably do need to give the drug time to have an effect on your fibroids.

    Try and address your anxiety, and maybe mention you are anxious to your GP. Being anxious can magnify and make symptoms seem worse, so it helps to try and lower feelings of anxiety.

    I hope that this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
