Do Uterine Fibroids Cause Lower Back Ache?

Im to have a hysterectomy due to my cervix being closed and they could not do biopsies or a D&C. Only had bleeding one day in Sept. Doctor who did all of this I do not like, was referred as my OBGYN retired in May. Had internal ultra sound and was told had fibroid tumors and the lining to my uterus is #6 and should be 4.5 or less. I m going for a 2nd opinion in a week. Is it normal to have lower back ache and I m so tired after doing chores. I feel like I m gaining weight and eating as in the past.

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and feel sorry for the situation you are in.

If the fibroid tumors are present, usually, the final solution is such cases include hysterectomy. However, it will depend on the actual health condition and the severity of the symptoms.

The lower back pain you are having is due to the presence of tumors in the uterus. Feeling tired is due to fibroids, a complete blood count is advised to rule out anemia which is often associated with such tumors.

Medications your doctor might have prescribed is also another cause to your actual symptoms including gaining weight (causing hormonal imbalances).

Good luck!
