Menopause Fibroid Tumors

Female reproductive expert please!! Can you still have fibroids and ovarian cysts after menopause?

I haven't had a period in 6 years? Prior to my period ending I had ovarian cysts and fibroid tumors. I would have ultrasounds and they got smaller; then finally I had my menopause. I was led to believe that when my period stopped I wouldn't get them anymore. last year when I had gallbladder surgery they told me I still had them. Until today, though, I had really not had any pain. Today I had severe cramps and swelling, my back hurt, just like when I used to have my period.. I feel like I have the fibroids again. How can I have them if I am not reproducing anymore? Is this possible? Please help!

If you are not taking hormones, the fibroids should shrink after menopause. Obviously, the cysts haven't.

If one of those cysts breaks, it can dump fluid into you abdomen that can be irritating.

The pain you are having may be totally unrelated to either your fibroids or your cysts. See a doctor ASAP.
