Had first zoladex two weeks ago for shrinking of fibroids. Bleeding started again and tiredness like have never known.  Does anyone know any positive things about fibroids and zoladex? Also anaemia. Thanks

    Hi,

    For anemia I used to rely on Folitab 500. I took 2/day-one in the morning and Second dose in the evening. If you want to control bleeding till you schedule your Surgery, go ahead & schedule surgery maybe 3 months out and then get the Levonorgestrel IUD. it will pause bleeding until it's taken out. Surgery is the only way out. Myomectomy that is... I hope you feel better.

    Hi. I did bleed between 1st and 2nd injections but nothing after. I had 6 over 8mths and they shrank fibroids only slightly. I'm 2 days post full hysterectomy and my uterous was 16weeks pregnant size due to fibroids. They removed numerous large ones plus endometriosis and polyps. The zoladex gave me bad bloating, headaches and serious hot sweats so be prepared. Plus put on half a stone in weight.
