Title: Is Stomach ache due to womb shrinking??
Post by: menopausalalways on April 05, 2022, 01:18:03 PM

Is stomach ache (0r in that  region) due to womb shrinking? or is it just digestive issues?

I don't think there's any pain in that area that is OK. If it doesn't go soon I'd be inclined to see your gp.

Hello - Thanks for replying. I'm giving it until Monday then trying to book an appt with the Doc - unfortunately you only get a telephone consultation though  >:(

At the end of my first year of menopause the stomach aches started in September, by December my Doctor sent me to a dietitian, it was IBS for me. I’m lactose and fructose intolerant. Never had a problem with food in my life, why it would start in menopause I have no idea?

Thanks. That makes sense. Plus I made some bread and decided to eat it hot slathered in butter and have had the most horrendous belly ache since. Should have known better I think!
