Tired of the Menopausal bleeding
I am 50 yrs old and have been bleeding for 8 weeks and have been to the ER twice in a week. It revealed a big cyst and an enlarged uterus. Second time I went it showed the ctst burst and my endometrium had shrunk. I went last week to my gynecologist and had a biopsy done. I will have that result in 4 days. I don't expect anything from it. Seems everyone I talk to (friends) their advice is "you don't need your uterus anymore". I am sorry but its a part of me. I have not done birth control and have stuck with mostly natural methods. How much longer before this intense bleeding stops? Is surgery the only option?
Hysterectomy scheduled for 04/07/2014.Seems my uterus is freaking out and I cycle for 3 weeks straight. then a few days break and it starts again. Nothing to do with fibroids. not much of a choice.
DR called yesterday, I don't have cancer. He wants me on estrogen til he sees me on Wednesday. I don't like what estrogen does to my body and mind. There has to be an alternative.
Your gynecologist is the best one to diagnose the problem and offer you your options. If you don't understand what is recommended, ask questions until you understand. If it is cancer, that's when I'd say you need surgery such as hysterectomy and oophorectomy. For non-cancer problems there are usually less invasive surgical options. So keep an open mind. If the doctor refuses to explain your options, then you need a second opinion.
