A large Fibroid and two ovarian Cysts.

This video shows a large Fibroid and two ovarian Cysts.
Uterine fibroids most often appear on ultrasound as concentric, solid, hypoechoic masses. This appearance results from the prevailing muscle, which is observed at histological examination. These solid masses absorb sound waves and therefore cause a variable amount of acoustic shadowing.

Many fibroids contain changes in genes that differ from those in normal uterine muscle cells. Estrogen and progesterone, two hormones that stimulate the development of the uterine lining during each menstrual cycle in preparation for pregnancy, appear to promote the growth of fibroids. Fibroids contain more estrogen and progesterone receptors than normal uterine muscle cells do.

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during the childbearing years. Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus. Fibroids may be single or multiple.

Uterine fibroids are generally harmless and often go away on their own. When symptoms occur, however, untreated fibroids can interfere with a person's quality of life and may lead to complications such as anemia.

Homogeneous hyperechogenic masses in the uterine cavity on ultrasound are highly suggestive of endometrial polyps, but the myometrial echogenicity of uterine fibroids may vary and be hypoechogenic, isoechogenic, hyperechogenic, or mixed, which depends on the size and nature of the fibroid.

Fibroids are almost always benign (not cancerous). Rarely (less than one in 1,000) a cancerous fibroid will occur. This is called leiomyosarcoma.

Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on the uterus. These tumors may become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In some cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. These fibroids are typically benign or noncancerous. The cause of fibroids is unknown.

Fibroids are also known by the following names:
leiomyomas
myomas
uterine myomas
fibromas

According to some research, almost 80 percent of women have them by the age of 50. However, most women don’t have any symptoms and may never know they have fibroids.
Types of fibroids
The type of fibroid depends on its location in or on the uterus.
Intramural fibroids
These are the most common type of fibroids. These types appear within the muscular wall of the uterus. Intramural fibroids may grow larger and can stretch the uterus.
Subserosal fibroids
These fibroids form on the outside of your uterus, which is called the serosa. They may develop large enough to make the uterus appear bigger on one side.
Pedunculated fibroids
Subserosal tumors can develop a stem, a slender base that supports the tumor. These are known as pedunculated fibroids.
Submucosal fibroids
These types of tumors develop in the middle muscle layer, or myometrium, of the uterus. Submucosal tumors are uncommon compared to the other types.
Causes of fibroids
It’s not certain why fibroids develop, but several factors may influence their formation.
Hormones
Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones produced by the ovaries. They cause the uterine lining to regenerate during each menstrual cycle and may stimulate the growth of fibroids.
Family history
Fibroids may run in the family. The presence of fibroids in the mother, sister, or grandmother may cause a tendency to develop fibroids.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy increases the production of estrogen and progesterone so Fibroids may develop and grow rapidly.

You’re right, feeling how it began to shrink and eventually disappear within 2 months was so liberating. I followed the steps I mentioned, and within the first 2 weeks the bloating was gone. I simply go'ogled Tilly Strankten's Ovarian Cyst Guide and it's like I hit the feel-good reset button lol.
