Hello all,

Question--When I gave birth to my daughter via C-section they said that I had very large fibroids on my ovaries and uterus. The Dr. didn't seen all too concerned about this. She said they would shrink. I have a different Dr. now, one that I can trust. He is sending me for a ultrasound of the uterus area to look for the fibroids. He said by doing his normal feeling around on my abdomen he can feel the lumps.

Now for the question--What happens to these fobroids if not taken out? Do they cause cancer? My mom had a hysterectomy when she was in her twenties because of uteruien (sp) cancer. I'm scared, please help.

Also to add, I have not had a period in almost 4 months. I am always normal.
