Sharon Stone reveals doctors found ‘large fibroid tumor’ after ‘another misdiagnosis and incorrect procedure’

Doctors may do some amazing things, but they are fallible human beings. This is why many people choose to get second opinions because one of the worst mistakes a doctor can make is a misdiagnosis, which is what happened to Sharon Stone. 

Sharon Stone’s misdiagnosis 

Sharon Stone is popularly known for her role in the film “Basic Instinct“. Her health has not been an easy achievement for her, having had scares in the past. Recently, she made a post on Instagram about a pretty serious misdiagnosis. Surprisingly, this is not the first time. 

She was experiencing some severe pain, so she went to see her doctor. There, she was told what the pain was, but it wasn’t entirely the case. It was completely wrong. Instead of believing what she was told, she went for a second appointment with a different doctor. It turned out, her doctor misdiagnosed her, and she had a large fibroid tumor. 

“Just had another misdiagnosis and incorrect procedure,” she tweeted on November 1st. “This time double epidural. With worsening pain went for a SECOND OPINION: I have a large fibroid tumor that must come out.”

In the Instagram story update, Sharon Stone said she is recovering, and suggests it’s going well. “I’ll be down for 4-6 weeks for full recovery. [thanks] for your care. It’s all good,” read her post. 

Sharon Stone urges her fans, particularly women, to get a second opinion. “it can save your life,” she says. She tweeted that women are far more likely to be misdiagnosed than men are.

The symptoms of a fibroid tumor include: irregular periods, pain in the pelvis and lower back, bloating and stomach discomfort, difficulty urinating, pain or discomfort while having sex, fertility problems, and strenuous bowel movements. Additionally, one might experience dizziness, fatigue, and lethargy.
