On fibroids...

Got a late night call from my former colleague, who underwent previous fibroids incision, or clinically we call it myomectomy at Delgado Clinic (daw) last Sept 01. I sent her an SMS message that same day...It was just a simple hi and hellos...basta I remembered texting her that very moment. I have had no any inkling that she's right there in the hospital that day. Basta I've had the feel texting her lang. And in jest she told me na tatanggalin daw niya yung number ko sa FB niya since di daw ako nagpaparamdam. It's weird that I remember her that time she was in the hospital...is this an innate impulse or natural intuitive power or what can we call that?! Whatever...

Anyways...get well soon friendship...Ms Florence Ko...see you soon! Loves yah!

All about Fibroids...

While waiting for the jazz class to start, as usual we all stayed in kubo. I was the first to come and decided to browse and pass away the time while waiting for others to come. I saw a good topic about Fibroids.
They strike at the core of your feminity but the good thing is Fibroids are rarely cancerous. This is popularly known as myomas, are benign growths or tumors in the mascular part of the uterus, specifically the womb. It can be very small or bigger than a grapefruit. They can grow on various portions of the uterus. Symptoms will depend on the number, size and location. Twenty-five to 40 percent of women of childbearing age have fibroids. They are most common in women who are overweight or having trouble becoming pregnant. Most fibroids are diagnosed between 30 and 40 years of age. They are often found when woman is examined during pregnancy or had a cervical smear. Cause of fibroids is not known. They are more likely to grow if estrogen levels in the body are high. This explains why fibroids tend to grow during pregnancy when estrogen levels increase and to shrink at menopause when estrogen levels fall.
Symptoms: Many cases of fibroids have no symptoms. But others may have including,
* Heavy and irregular bleeding... it may lead to tiredness and anemia (low iron levels)
* Painful periods
* Pain in the lower abdomen, pelvis or back
* Passing urine more repeatedly
* Swelling of the lower abdomen
