Menopause & Fibroids??



Okay I need help!

I am currently going through the change and I went to the doctor today and he perscripted estogen & progesterone pills and told me these would help with my mood swings and night sweats. BUT...I realized driving home that I have ovarian fibroids. Now, as my menstral period is gone, there is nothing to feed the fibroids so they won't grow. Now, if I remember correctly, does estrogen and progesterone not feel ovarian fibroids? I just called the doctors office and can't get in to see him again for 3.5 weeks. Can anyone shed any light on this for me. I obviously don't want to take these pills it its going to make the cysts grow.

Yes, its true that once your periods stop the fibroids are supposed to shrink. The questions you are going to face are what is more urgent to you? Fighting the hot flashes, mood swings and dryness in the vagina, or on the other hand shrink the fibroids. Its a tough decision. No one can do it for you. Please read some of these websites, I think you might learn a lot from reading them:
