Hi. I have a problem. I have got some very large fibroids, my uterus is feeling like it is just about the size of a pretty large grapefruit or something (16-18 wk). for the most part, they are not giving me too much problems except the fact that I am feeling full most of the time and I am keeping myself thinner than I am usual so I won’t look like I am too pregnant. So well my menstrual cycle is regular (I am not on BC and my cycle it is every 28-30 days) and even more recently it started to be only 5 to 6 days as well as it has become normal because it is *normally heavy* only for a day or so. I’m telling this because compared to how they used to be there’s a huge difference: it used to be 12 to 15 days, was not regular and changing my pad was something that I was doing the entire day because I had to do it every 30 minutes, maximum once every 45 minutes because if I was leaving it more I was already spotted. This has been happening this way for the first 3 to 5 days in the past. Those days I was out, I was unable to do anything at all (plus, the tampons were totally out of the question when I have been flowing so hard). I have went from passing the large clots and even passed a fibroid to normal again (by the way, it has been like I was giving birth).
So well, my fibroids really seemed that they have slowed down in growing so fast as they used to in the past, that is why I really hope that with the menopause that it is right around the corner, they are going to shrink… hopefully. However, in the meantime, I am having this issue and I have seen a lot of doctor and each one of them it is just scratching their heads pretending that they are honestly concerned about my problem and all of them also pretend that they are thinking saying “hmm… let me see” and in the very end it is giving me no answer. None of them. I have already got used to this cr*p. having all of this said, here it is my problem… I warn that it can be a little gross (in fact… very gross, so I am sorry).
So well, after my cycle comes to the end (and after all the yuk is gone) I am going this clear discharge that it is smelling very alike to a dirty butt… well. I do know that most of you went like “dirty butt” what?? WTF?? Um… yeah, that’s the way it is. it really doesn’t not smell like fishy, it is not metallic, it is not cheesy clumps, and it is also not yellow or green or whatever… it is clear without a color and it is a very much if talking about its amount. And yeah… it smells very funky… really like a dirty butt. And yeah, this is happening without any pre warning or something and from as I could notice, this is just about a week after my cycle is ending (or so). And yeah… you’ve got it right, I do soak my panty liner as well as my underwear when this is happening. So well, in the past, until I have got those fibroids, I have never ever had anything like that. plus, every woman that I have talked with about this problem has told me that she never experienced anything like this kind of issue. The thing is that I could not find anyone who has something similar and it made me think that I am all alone with this issue. Is this true? is there somebody else who has ever had this? I would really like to know if you have ever stopped this problem and obviously tell me HOW you have done it. my last hope is on menopause. Can anyone of you tell me whether should I rely on the fact that menopause would end it all? please, any type of help would be very appreciated!
