My 10cmx13cm pedunulated fibroid which grew just before menopause never shrunk. I had hoped it would but no such luck. I have put off taking any HRT because I thought they would make the fibroid grow more and start making my endometriosis act up again. Now my female internist says I should not put off taking HRT any longer because the results of a bone density test said I have the first signs of osteopinia. (Slight lose of bone density in hips) I'm guessing the prempro 0.625/2.5 that she wants me to start taking will make the fibroid grow and result in more pain and discomfort and probably cause me to have a myo done. My female internist said hyst was what she recommended not myo. She said there is no reason to keep uterus and ovaries after menopause with my fibroid history. Any one have any suggestions? Should I begin HRT? I feel pretty bad most of the time. Lots of aching in lower back, frequent urination, pressure and hot flashes. Maybe HRT will force me to do something. Anybody else trying to make this decision? Thanks, Kim Lester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
