injections that promote menopause?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any first hand experience with these? I have

numerous fibroids that are causing me to menstruate all the

time. My Dr has suggested this as an option to shrink them

instead of going in for a hystorectomy. I've already had a

hysteroscopy, and ultra sound which show numerous fibroids

deeply imbedded into the wall of the uterus.

thanks in advance for your input.

Hi-

I think they mean Lupron. It creates a temporary " menopause " -like condition and

can cause the fibroids to shrink, but it also causes bone loss and hot flashes,

among other side effects. But, once you stop the injection(s), the fibroids can

grow back, unless you are already of menopause age. Go to: www.lupron.com.

Please be careful and make sure you have a full gynecological evaluation.
