Gas pain menopause
Common Questions and Answers about Gas pain menopause
gas
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?
I have almost nausea and almost a pain in my abdomen; very hard to pinpoint, but I do not vomit, nor do I have diarrhea. Sometimes the pain is very sporadic; it will feel high up to my neck, down to my lower abdomen, and sometimes it will just feel like it's in my abdomen. I have a weird feeling that seems to spread throughout my body. I become extremely fatigued at times to the point I cannot function. I am having headaches every day now. My body aches, but I have no fever.
t have menopause symptoms. could I have missed it? certainly I would have known...right?at one point 10 yrs back the dr. gave me pills to help 'shed' and increase period scheduling. im into natural alternative medicine. my body was doing what it had to I felt. since periods have never been a issue why interfer? I suppose there must be a test of sorts to determine menopause is done? what do I look for?
ive checked out articles but no answers.
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).
I think (only from what I've read here ) the only thing that will help is the walking. The gas that I was told to possibly expect (the Dr. had me watch a video before my procedure) isn't the same "gas" as intestinal gas. So, not much taken internally will help it. This gas is "pumped" into your abdomen to expand the area so that the organs are easier to view..
it is really nice to come across this website. I have had problems with vaginal gas only over the last several years, since I became post menopausal. I believe my mother has had similar problems and she is in her 70's.
I spoke to my ob gyn about it a couple of years ago. I trust her completely for many reasons. She suggested that I douche with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 water. This actually helps me and it reduces the gas for several weeks typically.
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.
Stomach bloat/belching/gas.....cancers are ruled out THANK GOD!! All started with thyroid/menopause troubles. Thyroid numbers are excellent now so I'm left to think it's menopause.
#3: Doc prescribed a VERY LOW DOSE of Prempro to start me on due to symptoms. Anyone have luck or adverse effects on this??? I need something. NO FAMILY HISTORY OF CANCERS (FEMALE OR OTHER), no heart disease, etc....
Please try to address these for me.
I am still burping and have a lot of gas. All these symptoms get so confusing.... with the pressure and back pain and bloating..things seemed confused!
I am having blood work Friday and may ask for an exam before the MRI next week. My last USound was April 08 and lining of uterus was 3mm at that time and ovaries not visible.
Thanks for your info.
) The end of January I had a little spotting, then a very painful bowel movement and started to have vaginal bleeding. I have not had a period in 8 years (Hormone levels in 2009 showed peri-,menopause but almost post menopause). I had been period free for 3 years at that point.
The Bleeding was moderate to heavy on day one then tapered off as if it were a normal period BUT my stomach had bloated out enormously. Size 8 pants to size 12.
I saw my GYN. Had Transvaginal ultrasound.
If you look at my (lengthy...sorry) past questions and comments, you will see I'm desperately seeking answers concerning a serious, sudden-onset issue that began in Aug, 2012.
I'm still wondering if (maybe hoping that) it's just peri-menopause. (I've been looking forward to menopause for years, so I would not be unhappy if my problem is linked to menopause. Of course, it is whatever it is...)
Symptoms have improved dramatically since May 2013 or so.
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.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
I'm 58 and my last period was about 4 years ago. I thought I was sailing through menopause with just some anxiety and night sweats once in a while.
About 8 weeks ago I began having hot flashes many times a day and night, night sweats several times a night, anxiety and horrible gastric distress. All at once!
I've never in my life had heartburn or any intestinal problems but now my stomach seems to fill with gas for no reason, it rolls around my intestines causing sharp pains.
I know it will take time but now for the last three days I have a terrible pain in my right foot and leg. I dont understand if this is nerve damage or should suspect a blood clot. I am walking around the house and took baby asprin. Has anyone had severe leg pain after ovary removal or could this be from the cancer?.
Does anyone else experience depression (characterized by irritability and lethargy) as well as weight gain. The more weight I gain, the more depressed I feel. Everyone gets on my nerves. I've gained almost 10 pounds and it has to stop. Any ideas of who to lose weight while in menopause. I'm trying 5HTP now - just started so not sure how it will do. The digestive problems are a pain as well - so so so tired of the gas!! ugh!!
skipping your period for a couple of months could be signs of perimenopause. Your FSH level is high and would indicate menopause....google FSH levels and menopause, etc....your level is higher than mine and I am in surgical menopause. As for OvCa, he will not find any abnormal cells unless someone biopsies the masses...there is no way to diagnosis OvCa without a biopsy.
This might be a TMI for few but a night I have horrible gas pain that just won't go away n I get constipated . is there a way to relive everything without taking something ? Our do I need to take something?
