Q: Carcinoma In Situ & Abdominal Mass
asked by: KARENMOMOF3 on February 2nd, 2004

2 weeks ago I had to go in for punch biopsy of my cervix. My pap showed carcinoma in situ. My pap was done in oct. I was just told 2 weeks ago it was abnormal. I have to go back to get the results in a few days. I am a bit nervous because, I have since noticed a round lump in my stomach. It feels like my uterus and about the size I was when I was 10-12 weeks pregnant. I am also urinating frequently and have had constipation with tenderness. I'm not sure if this is from the biopsy, an extreme premenstral bloating, or just normal. My husband can feel this "lump". Is it possible to palpate a normal uterus by just gently pushing on your stomach? Can cervical cancer progress quickly?? I know it was "more or less" in a precancer stage in october.


Also just to clarify... Since I feel like I am pregnant... I highly doubt that I can be, as my husband had a vasectomy and I had my period 4 weeks ago. I'd be going back to his doctor and asking for some explaining to be done. I hope someone can give me some insight. I am very concerned. Thanks....

Hi the symptoms you describe are exactly the same as I had just before christmas except for the pap smear, I had bloating frequent urination and the rest and it turned out to be a large cyst on my left ovary which believe me if they grow large enough can make you feel pregnant, mine has resolved itself with antibiotic help and regular scanning to check it is shrinking, they can take upto 3months to go. Hope everything turns out okay

Abdominal Mass.. Fibroids?? Ovarian Cyst???
Went to Dr. Today. He said I need to have a conization due to the biopsy results.

I told him about the lump I felt in my stomach and the symptoms of constipation and frequent urination. After examination, he scheduled a sonogram and said to wait on the results of the sonogram before scheduling conization.

He said that my uterus was slightly large and that the mass was above my uterus- could be fibroids or possibly ovary. This mass did move around. Can fibroids or cysts grow quickly?? From what I could feel, I would say this is the size of a peach. It was not noticed 2 weeks ago when I had an exam with the biopsy.

Hi im glad youve seen the doctor you should get sorted now, fibroids and cysts can grow extemly fast but the good news is they shrink just as fast in most cases. Hope u r okay let me know how it all turns out.

Not Fibroids Or Cysts .... But, Something Else
Okay- the sonogram did not show fibroids. It did show "normal functional" cysts. What it did show was my uterus is enlarged! I guess about 12 weeks gestation in size. The doctor wants to do a hysterectomy. But first a cone biopsy for the in situ, a d&c and laproscopy to see what is going on. I am a bit nervous. Anyone have something like this before???

Thanks!
