Fibroids and Bleeding:
- Uterine fibroids can cause bleeding, but this is less common after menopause.
- Fibroids typically shrink post-menopause, reducing bleeding risk.
-
Postmenopausal Bleeding:
- Any bleeding after menopause is abnormal and requires medical evaluation.
- It could indicate other conditions, including serious ones like endometrial cancer.
-
Other Causes:
- Besides fibroids, causes include polyps, hormone therapy, or malignancies.
-
Recommended Action:
- Consult a gynecologist if you experience postmenopausal bleeding.
- They may suggest an ultrasound, biopsy, or other tests to identify the cause.
Summary:
While fibroids can cause bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding should be promptly assessed to rule out serious conditions.

View allMy wife's pregnancy is going fine, but she noticed some blood spotting twice today, along with brown discharge. Her last period was on April 9th. Our doctor gave her pubergen and ethasyl injections. Is this something we should be worried about, or is it normal? What should I do next?
The bleeding and brown discharge may be implantation bleeding or a threatened miscarriage, but the doctor's administration of Pubergen (progesterone) and Ethasyl (ethyl estradiol) suggests they're taking precautions to support the pregnancy; closely follow the doctor's advice, ensure your wife rests, stays hydrated, and attends follow-up appointments to monitor the pregnancy's progress, and avoid self-medication or excessive worry, as the doctor's intervention aims to mitigate potential risks.

I'm trying to figure out if the Chinese gender predictor really works for determining the sex of a baby. Ive come across some stuff online, and now Im just really curious. Is there any truth to it, or is it more of a myth?

I've been dealing with a cyst on my left ovary, and initially, it was 4cm but now it's shrunk to 3cm. Occasionally, I get these sharp abdominal pains, which are pretty concerning. I also have my periods every 20 to 22 days, but they bring on intense pain in my legs, thighs, and lower left back. My doctor hasn't prescribed any meds for the cyst yet, and I'm wondering if that's something I should be worried about. Is it crucial to get this cyst treated, or will it just resolve on its own? Could it cause issues down the road?
A 3cm ovarian cyst might resolve on its own, especially if it's functional, but the sharp pains and irregular, painful periods suggest it should be monitored closely. If symptoms worsen or persist, treatment may be needed to prevent complications like rupture or fertility issues. Discuss further with your doctor.
