Question 4

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate : If you have taken pregnancy tests at home and they are negative then you can rest assured that you are not pregnant. You will need to see your doctor to discuss irregular periods. I would also discuss birth control options to avoid an unplanned pregnancy and avoid these scares in the future.

Question 5

41yr, heavy periods(due to harm imbalance), intramural fibroid(3cm), missed period.dr said perimenopause, dr told to eat soy.does it increase period?fib?,

Possible: Soy contains plant Estrogens which can have an effect on the human body.  If you have a fibroid it may grow by eating too much soy and contribute to heavy periods, breast tenderness and menstraul irregularities which can all be side effects of taking estrogen.

Question 6

age 42, missed period for the past 4 months.  not pregnant.  periods were as regular as clockwork before then.  went to doc, discovered 2 large asymptomatic fibroid (9 cm and 7 cm) on ultrasound.  doc says open myomectomy is necessary.  is it really?

Accepted Answer

Fibroid ?'s: Missing a period for "four months" at 42 is not unusual, as pituitary production of FSH will need to increase to stimulate ovulation, as your "eggs" require more at this point in female life.  The two "large asymptomatic fibroids" are not necessary to remove, but may continue to enlarge over time.  Ask your gyn about low dose bcp's which have much lower estrogen than ovarian cycles.
