I brought it up because I was on the pill to deal with pain and when I went in for treatment of breast cancer it was only then that fibroids I’d had for a lifetime were found. When I had the hysterectomy the fibroids wrapped around my uterus and ovaries weighed almost ten pounds. Like I said, a simple ultrasound will show this but you have to insist that they look.
It's a mute point for my wife right now because she is premenopausel and is off of the BC but good information for other women who may suffer with this condition.
