Common Questions and Answers about Bloating menopause
gas
I am a 50 year old women just starting menopause, is it normal to have all the symptoms of starting a period, like breast swelling, bloating, weight gain, and then it just goes away after a few days, but with no bleeding.
I too suffer from extreme bloating and have been through tests and nothing is wrong with me. Went through menopause in my 40's and am now 59 and the bloating started up again! Tired of being a size 4 one day and an 8 another!
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?
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.
I have a combination of pms-type symptoms, but I'm 53 and post-menopause - no period for 3 years.
It's not unbearable but (1) is this normal and (2) what could be the cause? The symptoms are both breasts & nipples generally sore (almost as if my milk had come in) and (after 3 years dryness) vag discharge, the stretchy ovulation kind. Been going on for week-10 days. Could the cause be ovarian?
Surely I can't be ovulating 3 years post menopause!
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.
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?
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?
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.
Does anyone know if a 4cm ovarian cyst can cause stomach bloating (upper and lower)? Can a cyst be cancerous?
Hi,
Nausea is not a feature of pre-menopause as such. But it can be because of gastritis or hyper-acidity leading to gas and bloating. Dietary modification, having small frequent meals, avoiding spicy and oily foods will help. Medicines in the form of antacids will help tackle the problem.

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.
Here lately I have been having symptoms of early menopause especially intense migraines, extreme night sweats, heavy muscle tention, dizzy spells, dry mouth, different body oder, bloating, weight gain, at times I have trouble breathing, memory lasp at times, nervousness, and anxiety also at times. I was wondering if I could be hitting menopause so young because I started having children at a young age(16yrs.)!
A few months ago my symptoms changed and started to include bloating and feeling full with little food. My bloating use to go away with a bowel movement but over the last few months the bloating severity changes daily. Sometimes my stomach looks like I have just eaten and other days I look 7-9 months pregnant. I suffered from infertility and went in to menopause 2 1/2 years ago at age 40.
I am 52 years old, in menopause for about a year. Just recently I have had severe constipation that I can't relieve. Taking otc products, eating prunes, Citrucel every morning, probiotics at night. I do understand the need for water, which I drink lots of and exercise. Increasing fiber is always mentioned, but what do you do when you are gluten intolerant? I can't eat the whole grains and high fiber cereals. Help, I am miserable!
I am 55 and about 3 years past menopause. I've always been healthy and exercised, but in February of this year I had what seemed to be a period. My family dr examined me and ran some hormone tests and said it was just changes due to menopause. I continued to feel bloated, fatigued and developed extreme constipation. I called my dr back and he referred me to a specialist, but I couldn't get in to see the specialist until last week (June 2009).
Breast tenderness, bloating, increased appetite, cramps, etc., run five days, normal flow. Now she wants me to get a vaginal ultrasound to make sure uterine lining is not thick, etc...Now I worried that I have cancer!! Other people say don't worry about it, you'll stay younger looking longer! Am looking for opinions and/or to hear from women who've gone through the same thing. Thank you.
I am menopausal and have started having periods again after a break of 6 months. I have bloating, mild discomfort and black, stringy clots and my gyn detected a 4.5cm cyst in my ovary. He's ordered a blood test, but says that I must wait four days after my period finishes before doing it. I'm very worried as I read that benign cysts cannot form on ovaries of menopausal women. Must I wait another nine days to do the test?
I just assumed it was due to pms, but then I had my period, and then the problems persisted after. Along with the bloating I have had an excess amount of gas and I find myself burping a lot. One morning I woke up and it felt like a balloon had been blown up inside my stomach! Sometimes the pain is in the middle of my abdomen, then other times it is closer to my pelvis and feels more like menstrual cramps... Anyone else experience this?
A little background info:
I am 21 years old.
I don't know whether I've gone through menopause or not and now have bleeding that concerns me.
I went 8-12 months without a period (unfortunately not sure exactly when periods stopped). I also stopped having hot flashes, which were severe but have been gone now for around 8-12 months. My breasts also lost density and became more like merely sacks. I definitely assumed I was in menopause.
Hello
I am 54 and just had an ultrasound that has discovered 3 cysts 2 on my ovaries and 1 they are not sure what it is attached to so I am being sent for more tests, I am really scared because I keep reading that if you have cysts past the menopause then they are more than likely to be cancerous, is this true?
Is there any other post menopausal women who have cysts?
I have slight abdominal bloating bit of lower back pain, NO bleeding slight abdominal pain but other than that feel fine??
