Re: menopausal symptoms after UAE

April 2, 2000

,

I have come across information stating that some women experience amenorrhea

after UAE. They also say that normal menstruation can take up to nine

months to resume. The general opinion is that those women who became

menopausal (ignoring those who had ovarian artery problems) were on the

verge of becoming fully menopausal anyway. I know some other members of

this group have experienced the same symptoms as you and menstruation

eventually returned.

Personally, I am waiting to see if I get the same problem. My first period

after UAE was a non-event and I am waiting to see what happens with the next

one.

I had cessation of my menstrual cycle for almost 6 months after my UAE ... I

was told that it would eventually return and it did :-)

I was perimenopausal before UAE and more so since (hot flashes, night

sweats) however my period is on time every month. I am 44.
