Most likely it is benign---

I've had a lot of problems with my GYN system throughout my life, sinc teenage years. If the uterus is enlarged, the most likely thing is fibroids - but there are other possibilities as well. If she does have fibroids, she needs to consider a lot of things BEFORE she elects for a hysterectomy.
The fibroids probably will shrink by themselves in time, but if she is having pain or other symptoms - frequent urination, etc., - she may not want to wait. She might consider endometrial ablation.
I'm sure her MD will lay everything out for her.
I had a CT of abdome and pelvis with and without contrast a few months ago because of abdominal pain and the only positive finding was uterine fibroids, and a cyst on the kidney (for which I had an MRI and it was benign).
Good luck to her - will keep her in my prayers.

It always astonishes me how benign posts...
can turn soap boxes. Okay, so you wouldn't spend your money to help someone who took a wrong turn somewhere along the way and isn't living the way you think they should be. Good for you. I don't think there's any reason to bash someone who would.
Not always, sometimes totally benign. The imbalance is a concern, though. nm

Vast majority are benign. Try not to worry. There SM
are websites. They are very encouraging. Good luck.
