Period cramps are quite the norm for me but to have cramps until I broke out in cold sweat in another matter altogether. This was what happened to me a couple of weeks back.
Just to be one the safe side, I went for an ultrasound scan at one of the clinic at Paragon just to dismiss any nagging feeling within. Just to be sure you know.
The procedure was fast and the nurse told me that it is the same procedure when expecting mummies come in to check on the growth of their babies. How ironic to be doing the same thing but having entirely different set of feelings! :(
I just gotten the report on thursday. They found a small hypoechoic nodule in my uterus measuring 5.5mm in its longest length. For a layman like you and I, it means they found a small fibroid growth. They attributed that to causing the painful cramps.
I called my mum immediately. (mummies are always the first we call when we are in trouble don't we?)
She told me that 3 years ago, her doctor also told her that she has a 5.5mm growth but that mass ballooned to 9 cm within 3 years. She just had the hysterectomy surgery in july because of the oversize fibroid.
I thank God that I found out early and believes that He can and will heal me. Not really that worrying that as the peace of God is with me.
But my point is if we find that there is something wrong with our bodies, don't procrastinate to see a doctor. Instead of losing sleep because of that anxiety, isn't it better to get a dignosis? Maybe it is just a health scare or maybe it is something much more than that. Either way, it still gives us a greater peace of mind.
Yeah, I know sometimes it could be like opening a pandora's box. But I think I rather know than not know it. It can sometime be a matter of life and death. Early detection can save lives!
Go for your health screening if you have been procrasting that for the longest time. Just to be sure ya.
