Hormonal imbalance years after menopause??

@barb72 My mother is 74 and just started bleeding heavy. Just went to the ER and they said it was fibroids. What? I had never heard of them. He said they are created by hormones which she shouldn't have at her age and now, I am lost at what to do. He wants her to go to a gyn. So I guess that's the next step but we too don't like to just take meds and do a lot of our own research. I would love to know if you have found out anything new since your first post.

@sweetnis3 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
This must have been frightening for your mother and for you. Anytime a woman has bleeding after menopause it’s considered a problem and one should get to their doctor as soon as possible. It could be a hormonal problem for your mother but frankly if this were my mother I’d question what the ER doctor told her. I’d want a specialist to spend time with her and take complete history with your mother and additional tests.
Were you with her in the ER? What does your mother want to do? Will she follow up with her gynecologist? How did the ER get the bleeding to stop?
