What Causes Stomach Bloating And Diarrhea When Suffering From Uterine Fibroids?

default
Posted on Fri, 5 Dec 2014
Question: I am 52 and have had uterine ablasion for fibroids, I have horrible bloating, gas, diarria and constipation for 2 weeks surrounding my period, think terrible stomach flu (probably due to increased growth of candida) Then am disabled with pain/ fatigue for several days. I also have painful cervical cysts several times a year. I want to take my ovaries out, but have heard they are still useful for testosterone and one other hormone as we age. With how much misery I go through 1/2 the month, is their value that important at my age?

Brief Answer:
Ovarian removal is not advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

You probably seem to have symptoms of perimenopause called as climacteric.

Its absolutely not advisable to have your ovaries removed at this stage as it puts you risk of bone fractures and heart diseases.

I advise you to go for HRT,hormone replacement therapy to combat these symptoms.Consult your doctor with regard to this.

Get a transvaginal ultrasound scan to rule out any associated organic pelvic disease.

An ultrasound abdomen will be simultaneously useful.

Meanwhile to relieve your symptoms tab pantocid and lactifiber 2 tsps at bed time will be helpful.

Thank you
