Could my fibroid degenerate on it's own? Odd odor ...

Posted , 1 user is following.

I know TMI ladies. But I have a large fibroid and am in perimenopause (reason for its growth). Well recently during my period I noticed the flow doesn't quite smell normal (looks normal tho), it has a foul sort of odor that isn't typical. Anyway I weirdly also feel like I'm losing some weight and my stomach might be a bit smaller and when I press to feel the fibroid it may be smaller. I haven't changed diet etc. I am also sadly shedding alot of hair which I assumed is stupid hormones. The fibroid was around 11cm last ultrasound months ago and I never got the results from a more recent ultrasound (doctor sucks), so am trying to get an MRI for a myomectomy surgeon. But I'm wondering if it could have gotten so big it started to degenerate on its own? Or I'm closer to menopause and my estrogen is dropping more so it's getting less food/blood? Just wondering if anyone had a similar experience. Maybe it's just rotting old lady smell. I know, gross ...
