I am currently under gynae for heavy bleeding due to fibroids. I was due to have an ablation and had Zoladex injections monthly to prepare my womb and was put on hrt as it can put you into early menopause.
I didn't go ahead with the ablation as it took so long for the appointment to come through and I had more time to read about it and decided against it. I had a polyp removed and a d&c last Sept which sadly hasn't helped so with be going ahead with the ablation.
I was taking hrt right up to the procedure last year but then stopped as I wasn't having the Zoladex injections anymore. After that I developed soreness and stinging when having sex. I spoke to my gp and she told me to start taking the hrt again which I did and it really helped.
As I am still having the bleeding issue I have been back to gynae who have now told me the hrt was just for short term use and to speak to my gp again for something different. I spoke to my gp and she said for me to stop the hrt again.
I recently had internal ultrasound scan and that really hurt, the same stinging as before, and it hurt for a while afterwards.
My gp mentioned an oestrogen pessary might help, but I was thinking about the soreness coming back after stopping hrt. Is this due to the lining being damaged/thinned having the Zoladex, or would this be a peri menopause symptom? I did have night sweats and sleeping issues when having the Zoladex but apart from the sleep issue, I've not had any other symptoms.
I know I should talk to my gp again about this, but she is currently just doing phone calls for things like this, and I find it a bit difficult to have a conversation like that, I prefer face to face. I think it would also be helpful to have some suggestions from you all to help me during our next appointment.
