Avatar m tn During menopause these symptoms are generally seen. There are medicines (hormonal medicines) which can help you because during menopause changes in the hormone level happens.
Avatar m tn It could very well be menopausal or even peri-menopause, so many things can go on during this stage in our life. I have you seen a regular gyn about this?
Avatar f tn I'm 52, I went one year and no cycle and then boom had a cycle, so had a biopsy, that said everything is fine, and uterus has atrophied, meaning menopause. As of May 2016, it will be a year again. But by monthly symptoms, I used to have are ten times worse. I've always had breast tenderness, but now, omgosh, and they hurt under my arms too, I had one breast leaking a pale yellow fluid around cycle time. Mammo was fine, now the other one is doing it.
Avatar f tn I have bloating/ cramps and but no period. I am 10 days late now. I am concerned about menopause but have no hot flashes.I am 41.
Avatar n tn I also have a prolapsed uterus. Stage two. For the last yr or so I have been having a bloating feeling and mild cramps in my gut. And just about a month or two ago I had some spotting that lasted about 2-3 days. My mother had cancer of the uterus. Is it hereditary? How about ovarian cancer. Could this be a sign of it? Or is this just the sign of menopause?
598381 tn?1219502246 Hello. I have had the same symptoms as you and have been begging my doc to test me for menopause, if there is such a test, for the last several years. They won't even discuss it. I have had trouble sleeping, wake up exhausted every single morning (for years), hot flashes in the night (sometimes during the day - and sometimes chills), I have severe bloating, cramping, the cramps have worsened over the years. My periods are getting heavier and heavier and closer and closer together.
Avatar m tn I know I am not preg. Can the weight gain/tiredness and bloating be all related to peri menopause? If so what does a person do to get relief?
Avatar n tn Anovulatory periods are common in the 2 or 3 years following menarche (first menstrual period) and during the several years preceding menopause. Up to 80% of menstrual cycles are anovulatory during the first year following menarche. As a woman approaches menopause, she may have 8 to 10 anovulatory periods a year. Women who take oral contraceptives and those on estrogen replacement therapy may also have anovulatory cycles. Stress and illness can also trigger anovulation.
Avatar n tn When I turned 50, I went to the doctor to see if I was approaching menopause. The doctor ordered a blood test, and after seeing the results, he said no, I wasn't even close to the change. I am terrified of needles, considered the blood test a form of medieval torture, and will never have another one. I don't think I even want to go to the doctor anymore because he always wants to run a blood test. I think he is a vampire. Now, I am nearly 54 and a strange thing has happened.
Avatar m tn how long will the bloating and the gas last? is this normal? The pain is minimal now and I am no longer taking the pain pills. also as I no longer have ovaries I am now into full menopause, I am on HRT to ease me through the transition I have some questions about that could someone kindly point me to the best place to ask about that?
Avatar f tn Hi- Am I still going through menopause, started menses at12 yo,started peri in 1997 and still having hot flashes. I am relarively healthy, but have some fatigue (I do not sleep well due to flashes...some during day but mainly at nite) What could be the cause??
Avatar f tn I went to gyn today with what I thought were symptoms of bladder infection. Dr. said lets do pelvic exam just to make sure everything looks ok. Pelvic exams are always a little uncomfortable for me and the dr. said ovaries felt normal but the left seems tender do you ever have pain on that side. I had to say yes b/c sometimes I do even though I'm in menopause. He said let's do an ultrasound b/c it is so easy we do it right here in the office.
Avatar m tn There are both prescription drugs that can help reduce menopause symptoms, and also some herbal alternatives that help & have fewer side-effects. There may be a very small number of women whose sex drive increases during/after menopause, but I don't think it's very common. Unfortunately, for the vast majority of women, menopause causes their sex drive to drop off quite a bit, sometime dramatically.
Avatar n tn What could make fibroids begin to grow three years post menopause? Has anyone had this happen? I have no bleeding, but a lot of discomfort and bloating, pressure. I do not take hormones. Could this be a hormone imbalance?
1581747 tn?1296945715 As far as the fibroids, you should discuss the possiblilty of other options, one being a chemically induced menopause, cuts off blood flow to fibroids, in effect causes them to shrink, however the medicine to do this has many side effects most commonly it causes rather severe mood swings, such as depression and crying jags. the other option would, be a hysterectomy which I advise using only as very last choice.
Avatar f tn I'm 48 years old, had a tubal 21 years ago. I haven't had my period this month. Had all the crapping, headaches(still), bloating, and feel like I was going to start. But haven't. Our boys are 21 and 24. What could this mean. I'm very worried. Haven't missed a period since I was pregnant with our 21 year old.
Avatar m tn From what I know and have read about menopause, if you are completely over menopause than you cannot become pregnant, because you do not ovulate and you do not have a period anymore. However, if you are in perimenopause you absolutely can become pregnant, because you are still ovulating and getting a period, even though your periods may be very irregular. If you have not had a period in 2yrs, my guess would be the likelihood of becoming pregnant would not happen.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know if a 4cm ovarian cyst can cause stomach bloating (upper and lower)? Can a cyst be cancerous?
Avatar f tn I have assumed that it is probably the onset of Menopause. There is no pain, bloating, sore breasts or anything I have been particularly concerned about however now I'm getting a bit fed up with having it! Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn Can anyone help me with bloating and gas its been nearly two years since a full hysterectomy and my tummy just seems to be getting bigger,any thoughts on excerise too.
