Decapeptyl for fibroids

[KimG21]

Hi, has anyone been in these injections to shrink fibroids and if so did you get pain and bleeding for a while? And also did your fibroids shrink? I’m worried mine won’t as medical management has never worked so far 😞xxx

Hi, I had my first Prostap SR injection 4 days ago and have had the worst period and heavy clotting yet. I havent had any other side effects apart from fatigue but im guessing they will come. I was informed that my fibroids will shrink and the bleeding will stop after my 2nd injection but i am taking that with a pinch of salt as the medication (provera) i took before the injections were meant to stop the heavy bleeding and they didnt.

Fingers crossed this works

🤞

Hi, In my personal experience I have had Decapeptyl injection a few times to keep mine in control until I get my Embolisation, which is on its way soon this month. Being on it I have found that in the past it has shrunk them a little bit and kept them at bay as they seem to grow very quick with me. I did find that it did reduce the pain a bit with them pressing down against my organs and bladder.I never got any bleeding with it though and it didn't increase in pain but I did get all of the menopause symptoms though.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, God Bless.
