I have been menopausal for 6 years. The symptom is mainly pelvic pain especially lower left side. I don't have a scan available but I do know that I have several fibroids, one large one at the entrance to my uterus. The last x-ray of my pelvic bones (for arthritis) showed a large calcified fibroid. I have had fibroids for many years, they used to cause heavy bleeding and pain when I did have my periods.

Pain in the fibroid after menopause is not common unless it is a degeneration of fibroid. I would suggest to get a repeat scan done and a pelvic examination to rule out pelvic inflammatory disease. If it is PID a course of antibiotics will help you.. In the scan, ovarian cyst if any can be detected as this can also cause pain.
Hope i have answered your query.. Please upload the scan report for a better help. Feel free to ask any doubts. Good day.
