Lipomas

Has anyone had problems with lipomas during menopause

I'm 49 and been on HRT about a year. Just found out I've got a 4cm growth they think is a lipoma.

Some years ago during pregnancy I had a lipoma in the colon that grew and caused a bowel obstruction requiring surgery which was a bit of a nightmare as led to more surgery for adhesions afterwards.

So I'm a bit concerned about more lipomas although this one should be ok where it is

I'm wondering about a link with hormones and if I should potentially stop HRT

Where is this in your body? How was it found?

It's on my side, near the ribcage it's about 4cm, doesn't hurt I found it while putting on a bra.

They are going to monitor it - I need to go back in a few weeks
