Hey.. I'm wondering if there are any bikini competitors that have fibroids? I have 4 and my lower abdominal area always looks bloated... Any diet and/or exercise ideas that can help with this?

    You can shrink them with medication (has its own side effects) or uterine artery embolization, or have surgery and remove them. Diet doesn't change them much.

    They have to be pretty big and/or numerous to make your abdomen visibly larger, though.

    Wow. They must be quite quite large. That must be uncomfortable. I have 6. I rarely know they are there.

    They are small but numerous... Unfortunately, because I have not bared any children and don't experience much discomfort beyond the bloating, cramping, and digestive issues, my doctors will only monitor them... So surgery is not an option at this time...
