Are these symptoms due to HRT?

[Guest Posts]

I was put on hrt last year at the age of 61.

I was given:

Evorel 50 patches. apply 1 twice a week.

Ovestin 1mg cream. Apply Twice a week.

Utrogestan 100mg. One at night vaginally.

Have you heard of women taking utrogestan vaginally?

Since taking hrt, I have got slight fibroids and I have urge incontinence, is this due to hrt? I also sometimes bleed. Is this normal?

I am due to see my doctor next week.

Many thanks for your thoughts on this.

Utrogestan is usually given orally to menopausal women.
Ovestin cream is normally used vaginally.
Fibroids normally shrink in the menopause but can get get larger again in response HRT.
Any bleeding after the menopause should be investigated, so please do go and see your doctor.
