Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.
can vaginal estrogen cause breast cysts? I am getting conflicting info.
I was prescribed vaginal estrogen for severe dryness and losing the ability to stratch.
It took 6 weeks for there to be any improvement and in the 7th week I woke up with 3 cysts in my breast. My doctor says it is not the cause of my cysts and to keep using it........ but I am not so sure. The pharmacist says that yes estrogen can cause cysts and she reccomends I discontinue.
I do know if I stop using it my sex life is pretty much over, but as much as I don't want that to happen I don't want to go through the rest of my life with ginormous lumps in my breast either. thoughts? opinions? I have posted on various health boards and never got any replies so I hope to hear from somebody here.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
I was in pain for 5 days till it started shrinking back down. It did get a bit bigger again near when my period was due but only once. My period is due again in a few days and the lump is still small this time.
I have an appoinment coming up with a surgeon to see if he recommends having it aspirated or not. Meanwhile I have developed another lump in the other breast and so I have stopped the estrogen because I'm afraid it is the cause.
