Has anybodies periods stopped due to fibroids?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I was told I had a 5cm fibroid in pregnancy. I now have a healthy 1 year old and the fibroid died off. I since had a 6cm cyst that has resolved itself. I was also told my cysts look polycystic but my bloods don't confirm this...

Today my GP said my scan showed fibroids. I was at the GP as I haven't had a period in 9 weeks. I can't be pregnant, tests are negative and I have been sterilised.

So can fibroids stop periods? My cycle has been varied from 5-7 weekly. This is the longest without one. Usually they are heavy and painful. At the moment I have deep pelvic pain all the time and am utterly fed up. I was told to go back in a month if my period hasn't arrived!!?????

    Hi, I would say that's very unusual, most often fibroids cause heavy bleeding and also bleeding between periods, so have never heard of them stopping periods. But maybe someone else has a similar experience and will let us know. Wish you all the best.

      No, you would be getting hot flushes and no pain. Sounds more like ovarian cysts or a fibroid in an awkward place. But that doesn't explain the lack of period. Strange! Hope your gp can sort it out for you.
