I hurt my back at work 2months ago and was sent for MRI recently. Just saw my orthopaedic surgeon and he says my MRI shows several fibroid tumors but he didnt really go any further in to detail. Like, do I see an ob/gyn, do I not worry about it, is it serious, etc? All he talked about was my back, and seemed very unsure about the fibroids and was just reading the info off of the radiologist's report.
Any advice, please?

You should see your ob/gyn, no question about it. Fibroid tumors, just like ovarian cysts, etc. are part of the reproductive area right? You will feel better if you have this checked out by a professional in that medical field. Normally though, fibroid tumors aren't too much to be alarmed about but can cause pain and problems in your menstrual cycle, etc. However, every person, every woman is different. It is good that he didn't discuss the fibroid tumors since it is not his place to or his expertise. good luck

As some distance as i do know fibroids on ultrasound seem as shadows at the display. And tradition out of your cervix might've been stained and discovered underneath the microscope to seem for morphological alterations of the cells which aid in distinguishing melanoma cells from common cells.

if you scan normal ppl of the street, you will find lumps or bumps in a large proportion of them, and the overwhelming majority of these are totally harmless. in your case, if you didn't know you had fibroids, and they're not giving you any grief (such as heavy periods or lower abdo pain) then you can safely ignore them. mind you, if you ask your gp the next time you're in, that will certainly put your mind at rest a good deal more than this!
the fact that this is the only way you even realised they were there is highly reassuring. relax, and ask your gp next time you're in.

If you can be sure they're benign, and it's not too invasive, removal is the best option. These things are sometimes pre-cancerous, often enough to be a concern.

Of course go to gynecologist. If they don't bother, leave them there, if they're bad, could cause painful menstrual cycles, infertility, malignant cells.
