Everyone should mind their own uteri, ay?
I have a pin that says, "Sure you can trust the government. Just go ask a whale or an American Indian."

A lifer here, too. It used to be called a disease!
That really freaked me out on hearing that diagnosis. Cysts and pain come and go - supposedly we are to avoid chocolate and coffee/caffeine. yeah, right! No way! I do not do breast self-exams, and was also instructed not to do them as well by my OB/GYNs and surgeons, as we will always find a lump and then freak out. I have yearly detailed mammos - dozens of shots for surveillance. Had a cyst aspirated now and again, and have always been fine. In my 50s now and have gotten used to it - not lazy about it, but just not so afraid. Information is power! It is a very common "condition", by the way! We are all in good company!
Enlarged uterus
At your daughter's age, I would think fibroids are at the top of the differential diagnoses for pelvic pain/enlarged uterus.
Wonder why a CT was done first? Did she have blood work done (CA 125)?
I had periods from Hades, anemia, pelvic pain, enlarged uterus, discomfort, bloating, and pretty much never felt good every single day. Turned out to be fibroids. Had a hysterectomy and the world is a wonderful place now.
I know you are worried, you are a mom, which means we are destined to worry for the rest of our lives when it comes to our kids. Just trying to help you realize that there are other more benign and common things than cancer that can cause an enlarged uterus/pain, especially in someone so young like your daughter.
The negative CT is SUCH a good sign!
Let us know how she (and YOU) make out!
No uterus , no pregnancy I would think???- sm
sounds kind of weird. She sounds like a flake. I'd offer to go with her to her OB and try and get the skinny on that one!
Kokopoo, did you have ovaries and uterus out? nm

Fair enough! You mind your own uterus...
but if you don't mind it well and find yourself pregnant, you should have to pay for yoru abortion yourself. The government (and my tax dollars) should NOT fund abortion. I disagree with the procedure on moral grounds, so why should I fund it if you (or someone else) can't, as you put it, take care of their uterus?? Tell you what! You stay OUT of MY pocket and I will stay OUT of YOUR uterus!! Howzat??
You write that you had a uterus prolapse
why did they take your uterus out? As far as I know they lift it back into the right place.
That you lost so much blood
is really strange.
Go to the ER, it really amazes me that they send you home.
Let us know what happens!
