Bloated & feel full

Hi

I went to the drs as was feeling full & had a swollen tum.

I was sent for a scan that showed a 4.4cm cyst on my ovary and also a fibroid just slightly bigger than the cyst.

I’m waiting for a follow up appt with the gynaecologist.

My question is would a cyst and a fibroid both relatively small cause my tummy to be so swollen?

I am 55, peri menopausal and I have suffered IBS for most of my life.

Hello Denny333 .

I'm new here. I just joined today. I too have a fibroid. It's very small at 26mm. It was discovered a year ago during a pap smear. The gynaecologist said it was non cancerous and nothing to be worried about. Now, a year later I started having burning pain in my right pelvic region. I went back to the gynae and they told me it is still at 26mm and not dangerous. I mentioned the pain and the doctor said it was unrelated to the fibroid. Everything else was normal. So for the life of me I can't imagine where the pain is coming from.

I also have a very serious lung disease and so I am always a bit bloated and full because of hyperinflation in my lungs. So it's hard to know if it's caused by the fibroid or my lungs. But I know what you mean about the bloating. You mention having IBS. Does that cause bloating too?

I hope you had your follow up with your gynae and it all went smoothly?

Take good care.
