Has anyone experience this type of gyno pain?

Asked by Heather13 (495points) March 2nd, 2015

Ive been having some very serious pains that comes and go sparatically inside my vagina. Its about where my cervix is down towards the walls of my vagina. Without exaggeration, its so bad that I scream out for “help”. And anyone can hear me. Its very gripping and I cant move until it just goes away. I am 31. I am a virgin. I have not been to a gyno. I had an ultra sound about 3 years ago which showed I had a fibroid coming up on the outer lining of the uterine wall. But this pain comes at anytime. No warning. I get it more during my period, which is is very clotty. What could be several reasons for this pain?

Go to a doctor soonest. Tumors, whether benign but bothersome fibroids, or cancerous ones can press on nerves and cause pain.
Go to the doctor NOW!

Make an appointment to see a doctor, now. We can list possible diagnoses, but you need to see a doctor. Never trust the internet when it comes to your health.

If you have never been to a gynecologist, who did the ultrasound that revealed the fibroid? Did no one ever follow up on that? Do you go to the same doctor regularly?

It is very likely coming form the pressure from the fibroid tumor. I had fibroid tumors; although they never became painful, they did cause very heavy, clotty periods. There are many different treatments other than a hysterectomy for fibroids now. You do need to see a gynecologist though soon.

Could be the fibroid, could be a muscle pain, could be something else. You have to see a doctor. I would see a GYN.

I agree that you should get it checked. If it is fibroids, ask your doctor to check your thryroids as well. I’ve read several articles about a possible connection between fibroids and a sluggish thyroid. It can also be improved with birth control pills if your hormones are unbalanced. I actually know several women in my family who started with fibroids or thyroid problems and ended up having both in the end. So I don’t think the articles are far fetched.

@Pandora I’ve never heard of a thyroid and fibroid connection. That’s interesting. We do know fibroids feed on estrogen.

@JLeslie I read it somewhere before. I don’t remember where. But I was convinced since I have several women in my family who all presented with fibroids and shortly after were tested for thyroid problems and showed up positive. So I can’t help but feel there is a connection. If not the thyroid directly maybe it is the lymphatic system. Don’t know which one comes first. It’s like the chicken and the egg theory. In my family it is 3 cousins, my sister, 3 aunts and 1 niece. My niece is the youngest one. The rest of the women didn’t discover they had fibroids till they were in their 30’s. But I think that is because they thought the pain they felt was normal or at least wasn’t so bad for them till they were in their 30’s . I do have one more relative that has fibroids and tested for thyroid problems but she came back ok. Only thing is she seems to have all the symptoms of a sluggish thyroid. My sister was tested a few times and was negative at first but then she suddenly developed hyperthyroidism. She also had all the signs for thyrroid problems since she was a teen.

@Pandora I’m not necessarily convinced it’s one causing the other, but it is an interesting coincidence.

I’ve known I had multiple fibroids since my 20’s. The largest being a golf ball. They never caused me any pain. It really depends where the fibroid is whether it causes pain or not. I was diagnosed hypothyroid in my 30’s. I think it is a mixture of genetics, and immune reaction. Whether it be autoimmune or to an antagonist like an infection or chemical. As you probably know I am more inclined to think infection. My thyroid problem isn’t Hashimotos so it doesn’t seem to be autoimmune.

Thyroid problems and fibroids are so common that even if they are completely unrelated you could easily create a statistic that makes it look related.
