Can a benign lymph node eventually turn into a malignant lymph node?
I am going to have my 3rd mammogram in less than 12 months. I’ve been told that I have a benign lymph node in my left breast but that I need to repeat mammograms every 6 months. I got this information from the hospital where the mammography took place (they mailed me a letter) but have not been told by a doctor. This all started because I have a history of fibroid cysts and had to have my first mammogram at 26. I had another one at 35 and 40. I just recently turned 41 and am going for my 6 month check up. I am wondering if I should make an appointment with my gynecologist about this since she was the one who initially referred me for the 40 year mammography check up in the first place. If not her, then what kind of doctor should I or do I see? Can a benign lymph node turn eventually become cancerous? I’m getting a little nervous and frustrated.

I may have uterine fibroid and i know i what to have surgery before having kids. Just need to know how long most people stay in the hospital after surgery? One of my friend says it is a day and i think it is longer then that. Thank you to all who help out with this one.

Im a 26 year old mother of 2 small children, I had a hysterectomy (removal of just my uterus, I still have both ovaries) because I had bad endometriosis and fibroids. Im now pain free in that dept but now for some reason my right breast (38DD) started hurting really bad 3 days ago, it felt like I had gotten punched, (but it didnt) but it felt as if it had a couple small lumps and the pain was throbbing. So my Ob/gyn told me to put some hot compress on it, so I did for 15 min at a time over a 5 hr period, but the pain was getting worse. So he told me to go to the hsptl. The Dr at the hsptl kinda squeezed my breast which hurt SOOOO bad and it looked like some breast milk came out (cause I breastfed my son for 3 years and finished last July) and he said "No im affraid thats not milk thats an infection" so it took lab samples that were sent away and told me I would know from my OB/GYN on Monday.
Heres a little info. I just had this hysterectomy on June 7th, since then my right ovary has non stop hurting, my face has been breaking out more now than any other time in my life. Is it possible that my hormones are just are all screwed up now??? The ER Dr put me on Flagyl (anti-bio) and some pain pills and then out of the blue he says "Now im not saying its not cancer or if it is cancer"
I didnt ask him if it could be ;( So now im all freaked out.

What do you think????

According to my (current) dates, I am 12 or 13 weeks pregnant. However, at my prenatal visit today, my NM said that I’m measuring 17 or 18 weeks! Now, I’m positive that my LMP is correct, since before the last one I hadn’t been active for two years. I’m also reasonably sure I felt fetal movement, it happened twice the other day within about 5 mins of each other. At 12 or 13 weeks I know it’s fairly uncommon for this to happen. So, what are my chances that I am having twins? I was a twin, but my sister was stillborn at 5 months while I survived to full term. My mother also lost one other set of twins at about 6 weeks. Based on this info, does anyone else think this is a distinct possibility? I am also willing to acknowledge the possibility of fibroids or excess amniotic fluid, since my NM was able to find a heartbeat but quickly lost it. Does anyone have any input on this? I’m having an ultrasound next week by the way, but I’m trying to prepare myself for anything.

I am a nurse, but I have been so ill, i am really NOT thinking clearly. I would like medical advice from someone other than my mother (who also happens to be a nurse, but doesn’t see me as a patient, she sees me as her child). Basically, I have had a low-grade temp during the day x9days, higher at night, upwards of 103, with chills and sweats. Lots of body aches, headache, fatigue, etc. kinda was thinking viral URI, or flu, but then I started with UTI symptoms about 4 days ago. Then yesterday, I had one instance where I had what looked like spotting, but it only happened once yesterday, so I thought nothing of it until it happened again today, and now I am having period-like cramps (i think). I have IBS and have been having worse cramping than usual since this mess started, but I didn’t really acknowledge them until these 2 instances of spotting. I have never had any sexual health issues other than a pos pap years ago with a negative one to follow. have never had fibroids diagnosed or anything, but I know that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. I know I need to be seen, but it isn’t that easy considering i have 2 small children and no one to look after them. I really just want a second opinion as to what it could be. Like I said, I am having Upper resp symptoms, Urinary tract infection symptoms and cramping. this is just getting strange. thanks!!

He says wait 5 yrs for us to even think about another baby, my problem is, thats all i can think about most of the time.
I dont want our kids to be 8 yrs apart in age.Plus, I have fibroid tumors on my uterus, so the chances of me carrying a full term pregnancy goes down more and more.I am scared that if we wait that long i will no longer be able to have a baby.Also, he is 28 and i am 24 and i dont want to be 29 before i have another baby. He refuses to talk to me about it or to even think about it. What can i do so he will see that i am heartbroken over this decision.He loves us all very much but he doesnt even know that the decision HE made for us is breaking my heart everyday.Does anyone have any advice?Please no bashing him or me.and no rude comments please, I am just asking advice.
he is an excellent father, I couldnt have asked for better.I know he loves all of us and he would do anything to keep us happy, but he refuses to talk about another baby.
And I would NEVER cheat on him or lie and try to get pregnant without him knowing.
wow, some ppl can be REALLY rude, im sorry i didnt come on here with HIS feelings, I dont know what HE feels. And he is NOT a "sperm donor".
I dont know if it is bc he thinks we arent financially stable enough for another baby.I do all the finances and i know that we can afford to have a baby now.I am not looking for a way to make him feel sorry for me, im looking for a way we can resolve the situation, with compromise. It shouldnt just be up to one of us when we have a baby, it is a two person decision and we should BOTH have say in it.

I had my period a couple weeks ago, nothing out of the ordinary it was pretty normal. (A normal period for me is- 6-7 days, moderate bleeding but eases up on the 5th day, as well as cramps for the first 2 days). Then a week later I got my period again, (which has never happened to me in all the years Ive been menstruating.) Ive had lots of heavy bleeding and bad cramps, Im on day 6 of it now and its not getting any better.

Im just a little concerned because ive never experienced two periods in less then 3 weeks, Ive had an ovarian cyst before and my family has a history of fibroids. Could either of these be the cause or could I be over-thinking this?

I have been in the Army for over 3 years and I have multiple health issues. I have endometriosis, fibromyalgia, ovarian cysts, depression, and fibroid tumors. I am in pain every day, but I can function with a lot of effort. I am not the type of person who can go to sick call all of the time and miss work (even when I am in a lot of pain) due to my work ethics. Apparently, this seems to be the only way to get selected for a medical board. I think that being in the military is adversely affecting my health even more. It seems like no one will help you because they are trying to keep people in the military at any cost because of the war (at least in my opinion). I definitely can’t do PT anymore without being in a huge amount of pain. My doctors just seem to want to throw pills at me and otherwise won’t do anything. One even seemed to suggest that I was trying to get out of deploying even though I am not even up for deployment for at least another 2 years. I am having a hard time with this. I owe 3 more years due to taking a bonus a couple of years ago. What can I do?

ok, i have been diagnosed with Endometriosis and fibroid tumors. i had surgery to remove what could be removed back in October. They staged it a stage 4. i have been trying to get pregnant ever since. i have tried many things such as clomid cycles times 3 and also a shot of HCG the last time.. i was suppose to start my period on the 3rd of February. i had a little bleeding for one day on the 31st. and have been having egg white or clear sticky cervical mucus since. i have taken multiple HPT with no positives. i have a doctors appointment on friday the 13th. they are going to do an ultrasound and a blood pregnancy test. does anyone have any positive things to say. im completely frustrated and so is my hubby. im ready to just call it quits..

i ovulated between the 18-20.i was being monitored via ultrasound and plus the HCG shot make you ovulate 24 to 48 hours after taking it.. so do you think that 1 day was my period. i went to the doctor after on the 3rd and he told me my uterius was very soft. he said i was either about to start my period or i was pregnant. im so confused. i haven’t had any other bleeding.. WTF

So now im on provera trying to get the cyst to go away.. i don’t know what to do anymore.. im completely frustrated… what else can go wrong.. i guess its just not meant for me to have another baby.. im gonna finish this prescription out and then maybe start back on the clomid trials again. does anyone have any ideas i should try? i think ive exhausted all of my options.. everybody please just pray for me……… i need baby dust BAD!!
