Really just needing to vent and be assured that the following rant below is normal.
I am 50. The last 4 years have seen my periods turn severely heavy. Flooding, massive clotting , cycles of up to 10+days and coming every 23 days. It was discovered I had a significant fibroid and so last year had an ablation and surgery to remove fibroid. I was told I would likely never experience any more bleeding. Wrong. A year later still heavy-ish periods although not as bad as before, but still anemic. Turns out half the fibroid could not be removed and still
embedded in the wall of uterus. Surgeon says it is a failed surgery so my next option is a hysterectomy.
More recently I have been experiencing hot flushes, my anxiety has ramped up significantly, and out of the blue had my first migraine with aura which scared me silly. My hair is changing, my moods are all over the place and it feels like I am just not myself entirely.
I so confused- not sure if a hysterectomy os the way to
go of if I should just wait it out and hopefully menopause will come soon and just put it to a stop. Basically struggling with how much to just “plough through”, and when to get some help.
Any insight or similar experiences?
