Can yearly pap detect possible uterine fibroids?

I had a yearly well woman exam 5 months ago. Would the OB/GYN be able to detect uterine fibroids. I ask because I have had feelings of fullness and growth in the uterus area. I am NOT pregnant so I just don’t understand why wouldn’t the Doc be able to detect something like this if it was just 3 months ago.
Just like to thank y’all for responding. I go in this afternoon to have them take a look.




I have secondary amenorrhea, most likely due to my mild eating disorder. I am 21, my OBGYN prescribed me provera 10 mg that I am to take every day for 10 days every 4-5 months. So I don’t take it that often so I’m hoping some of the gross side effects like weight gain, acne and depression won’t be prominent or even present.




I have been on the injection for the past 5 months, and i had the worst day of my life on wednesday i heard some bad news a few hours later; i was on my periods and it was very heavy i was changing a pad every 3 hours, i now have hectic headaches i am very weak and i have terible lower abdominal pains.




I am not expecting my period for another week and a half. I have been on birth control for about 5 months now, and a week ago a missed a pill. The next day I doubled up as instructed, but I know that that can cause spotting. How long after I miss my pill would the spotting happen?




I have had unusually heavy periods for about 5 months now with many clots. I am experiencing brown spotting about every 2 weeks… My periods used to last 3-4 days and be normal to light…. I had a pap in july and it came back normal; when I told the doctor about the change in my period he just said "that sucks" Just wondering if I should find a new doctor to go to, or if this is my new normal
I am 34… and not concerned with fertility







For the last 5 months I have been getting my period every 40 to 50 days versus my usual 28 to 32 days. My gyno says I am not producing enough Progesterone and should perhaps take a pill called "Provera" to help with this and to regulate my period again. Honestly I am hoping that it goes back to the way it use to be without having to take any pills. I did not have a good experience with birth control so I am very hesitant in taking any hormones. I would rather do something natural. Perhaps a slight change in diet, more exercise, Yoga, aromatherapy..things of this nature which I hear can help. I suffer from IBS and GERD so I am almost certain that the change in diet and lifestyle I have had to make over the last year or so have contributed to these irregular periods. I was fairly sick over the last year as I tried to get control of my IBS and GERD, which have both improved greatly in the last year. My period seems to be the problem now, which in turn is making my GERD and IBS act up.

About Menopause and Constipation?




I would like to know if your Mom knows the Natural Feminelle product from Biotanic Company is worth it’s price? I feel really sick.
I am depressed because I am taking , Generic Paroxetine(Paxil) but I have more than 5 months than it does not work .I believe Paroxetine makes me get very severe constipation I feel like I am going to explode. I have bloating all the time.

Thanks for your attention.

Very concerned Mother.




I am 5 months pregnant and I have just begun talking progesterone injections 2 days ago to prevent a miscarriage (I have had a previous miscarriage). I am supposed to have one once a week.

I have had a headache since the morning after the injection. I’m not sure if this is due to the injection or not. I don’t want to keep taking Tylenol every 6hrs since I’m pregnant.

Is early 30's too early for menopause to begin?




I’ve been experiencing some odd things in the past 5 months. (approximation) Steady weight gain, regardless of diet and exercise, my disposition has become quite melancholy/irritable, insomnia, strange cravings, and extremely heavy menstrual flow. by heavy, I mean waking to a blood bath and having to change every hour. I’ve never been pregnant due to ovarian cancer treatment approx. 7 years ago. Any cause for concern?

Has anyone had luck with progesterone sapositories?

Is Menopause supposed to make me feel pregnant?




I haven’t had menses for 5 months now. The 6 months before that were spotty at best. Had three preg tests-all neg. Had a pelvic and a hormorne test. All neg. Now I feel like crap, just like I was when I was pregnant. Finding it hard to function properly. Mom went thru this early and she said she was ok with it.

Have stress issues to deal with, but I just can’t seem to wake up during the day recently. Don’t sleep well, either. Hot flashes and weird dreams all night.

Made an appt with an obgyn, but that’s for a few days yet.. I know that early menopause can cause a variety of symptoms, but I just want to know your opinoin.




If so what were your side effects. I went to the gyno today and they are starting me on progesterone for not having a period for 5 months. I would like to conceive but I just want to make sure my body is ok first. So any advice with taking progesterone and pregnancy is also welcome.
