Woman with Crohns

Do any woman here who have Crohns also suffer from uterine fibroids? I go through flares with my fibroid just like with my Crohns. My fibroid swells and I sometimes need anti-inflamitory medication to control the regeration of the fibroid on itself. Sometimes I can't tell if my pain is from my crohns or from the fibroid. The pain is in the same area and both make my stomach blow up and make me look pregnant.

Luckily I can just have the fibroid removed (after kids). A more cut and dry solution compared to crohns.
