Abnormally large womb

It’s recently been discovered that I have an abnormally large womb. I’ve had a little bleeding after sex I’m 20 odd years post menopausal I’m 66 yr and my dr is rather concerned. Her urgency for me to see a gynaecologist is making me nervous. She did mention the c word. It’s doesn’t scare me…what is scaring me is having to tell my beautiful daughters. Who have not long gotten over loosing their father to the big c . I’m telling myself ahhhh it will be nothing, I’ll be fine, but that worry worm is working away now.

  • Hello and thank you for posting,

    I am sorry to learn that your daughter's father recently died of cancer, this must have been a difficult time for you all.

    Waiting to hear back from the hospital and to have tests and test results can be a stressful time. I can understand you are concerned for your daughters with everything they have been through and that this period of uncertainty can be very difficult

    As you are aware there can be reasons other than cancer for an enlarged womb, such as fibroids or cysts. I hope you do not have to wait too long before you can get some answers and that you have friends and family you can lean on at this time.

    In the meantime, you are welcome to come back to us. If you would like to speak with one of the nurses on the helpline you can call on 0808 800 4040 between 9 am and 5pm Monday to Friday,

    Jemma
