Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Michele, Just read you last post about having a tubal. Do you think that causes the breakthrough? I had a tubal 7 months ago and have the same problem. I didn't at first, just started last 2 cycles, so I'm wondering if it's related to the fibroid or the tubal? Any thoughts?

That might be causing them to grow. I'm 55 and am still perimenopausal and am looking forward to seeing my fibroid SHRINK after menopause.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Hi, I'm 60 with fibroids so I am atypical of this group. At least I don't have to consider the fertility issues. But why growing fibroids post-menopause? Vivienne re. breakthrough bleeding > No no surgeries no medicines, nothing I had my tubes tied years ago. Just the bleeding on and off all month. So I guess that does not go along with the fibroids? If and when the fibroids disappear at menopause what do they come out as? Maybe it's degenerated fibroids? Hoping...Michele > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Hi Vivienne, I'm 52 and my fibroids started going two years ago. When did your fibroids start growing?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 , I'm sorry to say that you've stumped me...I wish I knew more to answer your questions but I'm not sure what could be causing your breakthrough bleeding. What has your doc. said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi, Sylvia Judging by my (mild) difficulties with peeing, 6-7 years ago! I assumed it was a manifestation of tension!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Yes to both, but my doctor is reducing the estrogen in my HRT (it is a customised natural compound). Since (in hindsight) I know that my fibroids have been growing since menopause, before I started HRT , mine cannot be estrogen related. I have also been having a huge crop of skin tags since menopause began and I understand that these could be related.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi Could you explain the skin tags being involved? Does it indicate menopause or low estrogen? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Those little flesh colored mole-like things that are attached from the skin on a small base, that are usually found on the neck or upper body.
