Default Fibroids

I hadn't had a scan since 2000, so I recently asked my doctor if we could do a scan to check how things were in there - I'd also been getting random twinges in my lower abdomen (didn't seem related to any particular time of the month) so I wondered if there was a problem.
So when I got the results of the scan, apparently there are currently no cysts on my ovaries (?!) but I have some fibroids. I don't really know much about fibroids, other than that my mum was diagnosed with them when she was in her late 40s and had a hysterectomy, but my doctor says that they're nothing to worry about and shouldn't cause me any problems at all. I've done a bit of reading up on fibroids and I know they can be in different places, so I guess mine aren't anywhere that will cause problems. My only questions really are whether they could be anything to do with the twinges I get in my abdomen (my doctor didn't really seem to have any opinion on what might be causing this), whether the fibroids are likely to cause me any problems in the future, and how I'd know if there was anything I should see my doctor about. Can anyone help?

There are many cysters here with fibroids (they're common in women, generally speaking, and women with PCOS are even 'more' likely to have them.)

The source of your twinges should be determined by your doctor (it could be from a number of issues), but before I had my fibroids surgically removed, I would get twinges from time to time.

As for problems, your doctor might be taking a 'wait and see' attitude to see if your grow.

I had fibroids, and had alot of different pains here and there. Having them removed was the best thing i did. Good Luck to you
