My periods are irregular and my lower tummy feels bloated and a bit hard. Doc once mentioned i have small fibroids. Now im confused if this fullness could be that or something else. Has anyone confused the two?
I have hormonal issues so my periods are anyway irregular, and I have seen fibroids confuse things too. Best is to do a urine test plus an ultrasound, that tells u clearly what it is. Dont rely on just the tummy size.
My cousin had fibroids and she initially thought she was pregnant. Test was negative and scan showed fibroids. If u r unsure pls see ur gynac soon, dont wait, fibroids also need attention sometimes.
Yes it can. A big fibroid can make the tummy look bigger and even cause missed or irregular periods, so sometimes people confuse it. But a simple test and scan will clear it up, dont guess.
The symptoms can overlap a bit, swelling, missed periods etc. But a pregnancy test and ultrasound easily separate the two. Just book a gynac visit instead of worrying, they sort it in one appointment.
