Lailla:

I was taking a shower and all of a sudden I just had this gush of like warm feeling, you know, going throughout me, and I look and everything was just like red. The water was red, and I thought, “Oh my gosh, I don’t know what’s going on; I am bleeding.” I was yelling, “Help!” to my family and of course I froze because it was just like lumps of blood, like Jello and just like red, and so that scared me and I said I really need to have it taken a look at because that was like the worst thing that ever happened to me.

The other symptoms that I have besides the bleeding was I have noticed that I was bloated, but I kind of figured well, I have constipation and I have been diagnosed as having irritable bowel syndrome. So I figured well, maybe that’s just part of it, but it is also a symptom of having, you know, fibroids.

I also was having abdominal pain down to where my pelvic area is, and I figured, well, maybe it’s also caused because of irritable bowel syndrome, really didn’t know exactly until when I saw the doctor and then diagnosed as having fibroids, and he said those are the symptoms.
