Okay I think I feel queasy already, and if any gent has had the misfortune to click onto this topic, he may wish to back quietly out 
http://www.everybody.co.nz/page-2b15eb0a-d487-48a6-9ca2-c5128078d645.aspx - Fibroids. What can you tell me about them? My mum has them, has had for quite a while but she is rather anti-medical-intervention so hasn't done anything about it. But I hear that they can be more common in women in the same family, even though no one knows what their cause is.  So my questions are:
Do I have a high chance of getting them? How will I know if I have them? Are they endo? Or only endo if in a certain place? Or not endo at all? When can they develop up to (e.g. anytime up to menopause)? Am I unlikely to get them before I turn 30? Anything else? Thanks! -------------  |

I know BS has them so hopefully she see this post Teresa and she can answer some questions for you. However I would think you may a high chance of getting them as there is a family history of them. I know my cousin got them when she was young and I know she has had 2 op's to get rid of them but they keep coming back for her. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
