Last week I had an ultrasound scan for bladder issues and two fibroids were found. One 5cm and 1cm. I I’ve been on hrt for 2years, on two pumps of oestrogel and cyclic utrogestan (200mg 14 days per month, up to January this year when I went to 3 pumps and continuous utrogestan (100mg daily). I still had bladder issues and anxiety went haywire with severe panic attacks. (Probably due to bladder and worsening external burning). Progesterone intolerance suspected so put on a long 11 week oestrogel only cycle, with a two week provera sometime in May.
Now I’m freaking out that the newly found fibroids will mean stopping hrt.
Im 53, last bleed October last year.
I’ve recently dropped to 2 pumps in March and this last week down to 1 pump since finding fibroids. So far no increased anxiety or flashes/night sweats.
Bladder issues the same. Tried everything for that including daily vagifem for months with ovestin.
I’ve got to wait until weds before I speak to menopause nurse.
Could all the bladder and external burning be caused by fibroids?
I don’t know what to do now.
