Accepted Answer

Leiomyomas : Leiomyomas of the uterus (fibroids) sometimes shrink after menopause, but some women have them actually enlarge.  It sounds like yours are very large which concerns me.  I would recommend following your doctors advice, or at least obtaining a second opinion, because it sounds like your doctor is concerned they may compress your ureters which could cause kidney damage.  Please be re-evaluated or at least seek a second opinion as I am concerned by that.

Question 5

does a fibroid tumorstill grow after menopause?

Accepted Answer

They slow down...: Fibroids - benign growths of the uterus - tend to grow unil a woman reaches menopause. At menopause, fibroids tend to stop growing. And depending on their size, they may disappear altogether. Talk with your doctor for specific answers about your body, though! lgromkomd.

Question 6

blooding after menopause.  have fibroids. should i have another ultra sound. last one two yrs ago. yearly pap good. ?

Accepted Answer

GYN now: Please do not ignore these symptoms- call GYN now and get a transvaginal ultrasound.

Question 7

how long does it take fibroid to shrink after menopause?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Reduction in size for fibroids is desirable although that is not the basis for treatment. Symptoms are why someone with fibroids is treated. The most common symptoms with fibroids are heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and increased urinary frequency. If you're post-menopausal, bleeding no longer an issue. Other 2 should start to go away over time; if not you could consider uterine fibroid embolization.

Question 8

can vagifem pessary 10mg (vaginal tablet) increase size of fibroids even after menopause? i am 69 and
having a scan as they suspect fibroid increased!

Accepted Answer

Vagifem pessary: Any source of estrogen can increase the size of fibroids, but if you did not have problems with fibroids prior to menopause, it is not likely that a "10 mg. Vagifem" will stimulate fibroid growth to the point where one has symptoms or discomfort.  The scan will determine the true cause of this.

Question 9

i'm 62. i've had had post menopausal bleeding for years. i've had 3 d&cs. due to thickened uterine lining. the last one removed polyp and fibroid. i've had bleeding again but ultrasound showed normal. what now?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance.: Postmenopausal bleeding because of endometrial hyperplasia can be frustrating. At root is the imbalance of the hormones Estrogen and Progesterone. As your body reduces hormone production post menopausal, it may not affect all hormones the same. A low level of progesterone relative to estrogen can cause bleeding. Be persistent and follow up with your Gyn Dr for treatment and recommendations.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: Part of the procedure , also to asses status of endometrium and to rule out malignancy, .
