Continuous bleeding from the uterus after a sudden jerk?

Question

My mom , while travelling in bus started to bleed continuously (after a sudden jerk on passing over a gutter) from the uterus for about 4 hours. she was taken to the hospital and the doctors gave her medicines. She was asked to take an ultrasound scan and the result suggested that she has multiple fibrosis less than 1cm in the uterus. After one day she started to have a small abdominal pain. Why is this happening? What is the next step after this? Can this be harmful. plz help.

Answer 1

1 cm is actually very small and if the doctor didn't suggest surgical removal, your mum should calm down and take her medication. If the pain is not too severe, ordinary painkillers will do like paracetamol. Some women have cysts/polyps in their uterus and they just ignore them. One gynae told me that unless the cyst gives trouble, you can actually wait till it grows to the size of a baby's head before it needs to be surgically removed. You didn't say how old your mum is, but if she's nearing menopause, the drop in oestrogen level can sometimes shrink the cysts. If your mum does ok after the medication, she can go for another checkup in 6 months just to monitor the size, but for now, 1 cm is really nothing to worry over.

Answer 2

WEB MD is a great reference point for your problem she should follow up all appointments with her doctor, and get other opinions if she feels it necessary. From other people I have know it sounds as if she may need a hysterectomy, but I am not a professional, this is very common problem, which can be treated successfully if done right away. However do not ignore this problem seek professional help immediately.

Answer 3

probably fibroids ,common in women over 35 ,it would have bled anyway just a coincidence it bled then,drugs may shrink them but a hysterectomy might be the only answer

Answer 4

im sorry to hear this:

Fibrosis is the formation or development of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or tissue as a reparative or reactive process, as opposed to formation of fibrous tissue as a normal constituent of an organ or tissue.
