Go to a gynecologist. Fibroids will cause all those problems, and are easily removed. There is nothing you can do to lose the weight gained through large fibroids except have them removed. And all the other problems should go away after they are removed. The cysts are less likely to be causing the symptoms, but should also be monitored by a gyno. They will often go away all on their own, but sometimes do need to be removed by the doctor. But it sounds like your GP is just brushing you off, and you should find someone who is going to give your problems more time and understanding.
ask for info! u should be able to know what’s going on with your own body. if a doctor doesn’t give u info. maybe u need a new one.
I would highly suggest a new doctor.
I think in some cases they do leave it and others they might want to remove it. This is something your doctor should have discussed with you and helped you to make an informed decision.
Do your GP suggest going to the gynecologist? He might have decided to leave the info and guidance up to the Gyne.
