I had uterine fibroid embolization on my right side 2003. My last ultrasound in November showed uterine size of 13 X 7cm. Largest of three fibroids are located on top of uterus and measure 4.5 cm. The fibroids do not seem to be getting larger. I am 45 and had one miscarriage, no children. Could my enlarged uterus cause pressure on back muscles? I also have fibroymalgia. Right now I am seeing a physical therapist for sacroiliac pain. During the last three months when I get my period, my butt muscles on the right side become knotted and tight. Any comments, suggested are welcomed. Thank you. I have had terrible right leg,hip,knee,lower back pain for the last 3 months. I had uterine fibroid embolization on my right side 2003.

From what I can tell, my periods changed dramatically in October which caused heavy bleeding. My gyn recommended I get an IUD to subdue the bleeding so I did and it has helped tremendously. Last week I went back to my gyn and discovered my fibroid is now 5 cm. Would this be considered rapid growth? How frequently should I get it checked? I was recently married and as of right now, my husband and I don't want to have children but would like to discuss by the time I am 34. I just don't want to end up without my uterus one day...any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Dear Dr. Parker,

Also, these types of fibroids, called submucous fibroids, also cause heavy bleeding. So, removal should help with this problem as well.
