Crohns and Ovarian problems symptoms Posted: 02-16-04 12:09pm
I am a 47 year old woman that has had a
regular menstral cycle. I have crohns and
am on regular medication to lessen the
effects. This past december my younger
sister died of breast cancer (she was 44)
so you can understand the stress I have
gone through over the past while.
Just prior to her death, I was late for my
period and this month no period at all.
During this time I have experienced hot
flashes (more like sweats) mostly at night
although they have presently subsided.
I do find that my tummy is tender and I
have had more bowel movements but this is
not exceptional given my crohns.
Has anyone had similar issues and can you
help me understand them? I have read
where these can be associated with ovarian
problems.
So you should know I have three children
my oldest is 16 my youngest is 10 and they
were all breast fed.
Since my sister's death I find myself
obsessing over health issues in a way I
never have before. Thanks for your
understanding.
