Sent to Health Experts May 05, 2006 9:05 p.m.

I have had an irregular menstrual cycle (only get it every few months) for years; now am dealing with stomach getting larger (quite a bit larger) and feel full a lot. Is it possible that I have some sort of a tumor? I looked at uterine fibroids online and it seems like that could be what it is, but it says there would be an increase in bleeding, and I still only menstruate every few months. What can this be?
