Hi all, I’ve been diagnosed with stage 4 endo with fibroids and i’ve had one burst. I’m awaiting medical attention but I won’t get any for approx 6 hours. Any tips on lessening pain until then?

Thanks!!

How are you feeling? Did you get treatment?

I had fibroids but had a hysterectomy, they were causing issues.

Hi fibroids don't burst as far as I know - they are hard and quite fibrous. They can degenerate and break down which mine do. Thus causes a lot of bleeding but I haven't had much pain before. Do you have cysts or an endometrioma as these can burst and are incredibly painful. Hope you get seen to soon x
