im 47. went through menopause at 43. im experiencing menstrual like cramps. i also feel soreness &burning. i saw dr. she ordered ultrasound. she said there was atrophy on my cervix and vaginal wall & prescribed vagifem 10. is cramping from atrophy?

Accepted Answer

: Cramping is unlikely from atrophy.Atrophic vaginitis or atrophy or the cervix and endometrium is a normal part of aging and menopause due to the decrease in estrogen as you age and can be partially reversed with the supplemental estrogens. Cramping is a muscular reaction which is caused by uterine contractions to expel your shedding endometrium during your period. Try  NSaids like ALeve for cramps

Question 2

what causes bleeding from the cervix after menopause? us shows endometrial thickening of 8mm and no change in fibroids. bleeding is from cervix.

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Polyps both endocervical and prolapsed endometrial polyps, cervicitis (inflammation from infection), cervical cancer are some of the causes.  In your case I wouldn't expect to see an 8mm endometrium at age 60, so I'm concerned about possible hyperplasia.  Trauma from sex can cause cervical and vaginal bleeding as well from atrophy.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Lots of Tofu: You are only a little early with menopause, which might be coincidental with your radiation.

Question 5

going through menopause. t-vag says endo stripe is 0.4 cm, small post.uterin fibroid 0.9cm, some benign nabothian cysts in cervix. anything worrisome?

Accepted Answer

No worries.: A small uterine fibroid is usually asymptomatic and is not dangerous.  A fibroid will usually shrink after menopause from decreasing estrogen levels.  Your endometrial stripe is also normal.  Nabothian cysts are also normal .  None of these findings pose any risk to your health.

Question 6

Question 7

can i have a baby after menopause?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You are not able to have a baby who is bioligically related to you as you are not able to develop eggs for fertilization.  However, it is possible to be a surrogate mother using another woman's egg for fertilization.  This does not mean that it is medically advisable or optimal.

Question 8

is it normal to have dryness after menopause?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!: One of the more common and aggravating problems after menopause are vaginal changes. Decreased estrogen causes dryness and thinning of the vaginal skin. The muscles can also get weak. Symptoms a dryness, sometimes itching, pain with sex and even urinary incontinence. Lubricants can help. Topical estrogen is also appropriate if symptoms are especially annoying. Good luck.

Question 9

could you tell me what happens to a women after menopause?

Accepted Answer

Menopause: Menopause is defined as the normal ending of the menstrual cycle after one year without a period. The ovaries stop producing eggs and hormones. So women can no longer conceive after menopause and decreasing hormone levels can cause symptoms of aging, hot flashes, mood changes, skin changes less libido and vaginal dryness. Symptoms can be treated with both traditional and natural approaches.
