Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help/advise?

I started Prostap3 end of Jan with Myomectomy booked for May. I have a subscerosal Fibroid measuring 20cm! The Prostap has worked wonders in shrinking the Fibroid although after 7 weeks all the menopause symptoms have disappeared and the fibroid is back. It seems that the Prostap has worn off a lot quicker than the 3 months it’s meant to last. I’m very active and do cardio 6 days a week - I wondered if it’s possible I metabolise the medication a-lot quicker .. just a thought/ speculating

The hospital refuse to see me before the 3 months is up, despite my terrible symptoms of pelvic heaviness/back pain etc.. I never thought I would actually miss those hot flushes and night sweats as it meant my fibroid felt non existent!

Not sure where to turn to - I feel like I’m back to square 1 and not sure how else I can access Prostap as of course it’s very controlled

I appreciate any advice or similar stories to share?

Best

A

Hi

Try contacting your GP to ask them to get in touch with the clinic to see you sooner. Explain what you’ve said here. You could be right with metabolism.

Do you have Endo as well?

Hi,

Thank you, that would have been my next thing. I decided to try my luck and go into the hospital yesterday - asked to speak to a consult gynae- she administered the next dose straight away! Apologised that they were understaffed and was the reason I was being fobbed off.

She was in agreement - it’s certainly possible that it wears off quicker in some individuals.

Thank you for responding x

That’s great, good for you insisting on speaking to Gynae and getting it sorted. 🙂

Hope you’re feeling better today.
