The hymen is a membrane that covers the vaginal opening before a woman's first intercourse. It is not, however, a solid mass of tissue; it has perforations in it. Often, the entire central portion of the hymen is open, with a thick rim of tissue all around. This allows menstrual blood to escape and tampons to be inserted without disrupting the hymen. Even heavy menstrual bleeding passes without tearing the hymen.\nRarely, the hymen is a solid wall of tissue, and this must be opened shortly after menstruation begins. If not, the blood will fill the vagina and uterus, leading to pain and -- possibly -- an increased risk of developing endometriosis.

Here is what I could find:\n\nEndometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is located outside the uterus. Usually there are implants of this tissue in the pelvis. When the lining of the uterus bleeds during the menstrual cycle, these implants also bleed. This causes pain and scarring in the pelvis. The other pelvic structures react to this bleeding by becoming adherent to each other so that tubes, ovaries and intestine are stuck together. If the endometrial tissue is within an ovary, that ovary will fill with blood. These are called endometriomas and are cysts in the ovary filled with old blood. This old blood has the appearance of thin chocolate or motor oil. They are also called chocolate cysts of the ovary. Endometriomas are frequently found at surgery for ovarian cysts.  http://www.gyncancer.com/ovarian-cysts.html\n\nWhat are Endometriomas/Chocolate Cysts?\nThis disease process is also known as Endometriosis of the ovaries. Tiny implants of cells that line the uterine cavity become transplanted and form small cysts on the outside of the ovary. These cysts enlarge and produce Endometriosis of the ovary. They respond to hormone stimulation during the menstrual cycle and produce many small cysts, which may then occupy and even replace the normal ovarian tissue.\n\nThese endometriomas are filled with a thick chocolate-type material, which is the reason they are known as "chocolate cysts". When this type of ovarian cyst ruptures, the material spills over into the pelvis and onto the surface of the uterus, bladder and bowel and the corresponding spaces between. Adhesions can develop because of this rupture and may lead to pelvic pain.  http://www.alternativesurgery.com/education/ovariancysts.php\n\n) Endometrioma or "chocolate cyst". These are cysts that form when endometrial tissue (the type that lines the inside of the uterus) invades an ovary. It is responsive to monthly hormonal changes, which causes the cyst to fill with blood. It’s called a “chocolate cyst” because the blood is a dark, reddish-brown color. Multiple endometriomas are found in the condition called "endometriosis". Although often asymptomatic, chocolate cysts can be painful, especially during your period or during intercourse.  http://www.ovarian-cysts-pcos.com/ovarian-cysts.html

First of all, "monopose" means "one pose."\n\nSince you mention HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), and you also mention DVT (Deep vein thrombosis), I'm assuming you mean menopause (the cessation of a woman's menstrual periods.)\n\nI'm recommending a wonderful website (realage.com)  You can take quizzes, not only regarding menopause, but also for other things related to health.\n\nI'm also recommending webmd.com.

Endometriosis is a painful, chronic disease that affects 5 1/2 million women and girls in the USA and Canada, and millions more worldwide. It occurs when tissue like that which lines the uterus (tissue called the endometrium) is found outside the uterus -- usually in the abdomen on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and ligaments that support the uterus; the area between the vagina and rectum; the outer surface of the uterus; and the lining of the pelvic cavity. Other sites for these endometrial growths may include the bladder, bowel, vagina, cervix, vulva, and in abdominal surgical scars. Less commonly they are found in the lung, arm, thigh, and other locations.

The words you are looking for are "menses" (or "menstruation") and "vagina."  If you're old enough to ask about menstruation, you should act old enough to use the literal terms instead of derogatory, demeaning slang.  Now then - almost all women have some cramping during their periods, classified as either primary dysmenorrhea (which refers to "normal" menstrual pain) or secondary dysmenorrhea (which is a result of an underlying disease or disorder). "Normal" cramps occur in almost all women due to the release of prostaglandins, which are hormones produced by the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). Prostaglandins cause the uterus to contract (sometimes quite painfully) in order to expel the menstrual debris (and henceforth, start the period). Some women produce higher levels of prostaglandins than others, so they may hurt more.  In the case of a woman who has secondary dysmenorrhea, there are other reasons for her pain, including diseases or conditions like Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, cervical stenosis, structural abnormalities in the vagina or uterus itself, fibroids, etc.  I trust that answers your inquiry.

Symptom of Adenomyosis is a medical condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) within the myometrium (the thick, muscular layer of the uterus).\n\nThe condition is typically found in women in the ages between 35 and 50. Patients with adenomyosis can have painful and/or profuse menses (dysmenorrhea & menorrhagia, respectively).\n\nAdenomyosis may involve the uterus focally, creating an adenomyoma, or diffusely. With diffuse involvement, the uterus becomes bulky and heavier.\n  or it may be something else please check with link:\nMay God Bless you!  Good Luck kiddo!

When it is polypoid or sub mucous fibroid  intermenstural bleeding occurs.If the polypus is large  the bleeding is profuse and almost continuous.  If it is infected the discharge may be with pus and  with offensive smell.  Red is fresh bleeding and the brown is late bleeding. Since you have already being diagnosed as having fibroid you need not worry, other wise we have to think of possibility of co-incident uterine cancer. Better to have a checkup again.

What is Endometriosis?\nEndometriosis is a common and chronic gynecological and immunological disease that can result in pelvic pain. About 2-4% of women and girls of reproductive age and up to 30% of women with infertility have endometriosis. That amounts to approximately 5.5 million women in the United States and Canada.\n\nThe disease occurs when endometrial cells (the cells that line the inside of the uterus) develop outside of their normal location inside the uterus. The misplaced endometrial cells respond to the menstrual cycle in the same way as those lining the uterus. The tissue grows and sheds blood at the time of menses. However, instead of flowing out of body through the vagina, the blood shed by the misplaced cells has no way of leaving the body. The resulting internal bleeding can lead to chronic inflammation and the formation of adhesions and scar tissue.\n\nLocation of Endometriosis\nAreas commonly affected by endometriosis include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the ligaments that support the uterus, the area between the vagina and rectum (cul-de-sac), the outer surface of the uterus and the lining of the pelvic cavity. Endometrial lesions can also be found in the bladder, bowel, vagina, cervix and vulva. More rarely the lung and other body tissues can be affected.\n\nThe frequency that endometriosis is found to occur in the pelvic area is:\n\nCul-de-sac - 72% \nUterosacral ligaments - 41% right and 45% left \nBroad ligaments - 43% right and 52% left \nUterus - 16% \nOvaries - 17% right and 17% left \nFallopian tubes 7% right and 9% left \nBladder - 33% \nSigmoid colon - 18%

Postmenopausal Bleeding \nDefinition:\nPostmenopausal bleeding is vaginal bleeding after menopause has occurred and periods have stopped. \nCause:\nPostmenopausal bleeding may be caused by a hormone change affecting the uterine lining, thinning of the vagina, benign growths on the inside of the uterus, cancer, and anticoagulants.\nSymptoms:\nSymptoms include bleeding of any amount after normal, regular periods have ceased. \nDiagnosis: \nAfter history and physical examination, you may have blood tests of hormone levels, ultrasound of the uterus, and biopsy of the lining of the uterus. The biopsy may include a dilatation and curettage.\nTreatment:\nTreatment depends on the findings of the testing. Surgery may be required for pathological conditions. Hormone therapy may be  stopped, altered, or started to treat bleeding from hormonal causes, or sometimes to treat the thin lining of the uterus. If there is not a serious problem that requires surgery to remove the uterus, the lining of the uterus can be treated so it will not bleed anymore. This is called endometrial ablation.

PMS.\n\n"What is premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?\nUp to 85% of women normally have one or more troubling physical and emotional symptoms between the time they ovulate and the first days of their menstrual period.1 These are called premenstrual symptoms. When premenstrual symptoms interfere with your relationships or responsibilities, they are called premenstrual syndrome (PMS). \n\nWhile some women first have PMS in their teens or 20s, others don't until their 30s. PMS can come and go during your reproductive years; you may find that your symptoms worsen as you approach perimenopause, in your late 30s or 40s.\n\nPMS occurs only in women who ovulate during their monthly menstrual cycle. Women who do not ovulate—because of pregnancy, menopause, or taking birth control pills—do not have PMS symptoms. However, many do have similar hormone-related symptoms. \n\nWhat causes PMS?\nPMS is linked to changes in the endocrine system, which produces hormones that control the menstrual cycle. Because the female endocrine system is so complex, medical experts don't fully understand the chain of events that causes premenstrual symptoms to be severe in some women and not in others.\n\nThe one direct cause that is known to affect some women is genetic: Many women with PMS have a close family member with a history of PMS.1\n\nWhat are typical premenstrual symptoms?\nPMS consists of a wide variety of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Symptoms vary greatly from woman to woman and can range from mild to severe. \n\nCommon physical symptoms include breast swelling and tenderness, bloating, water retention, weight gain, acne, food cravings, sleep changes, lack of energy, lessened sexual desire, and pain, such as headaches, migraines, aching joints or muscles, cramps, and low back pain.\n\nCommon emotional symptoms include depression, sadness, hopelessness, anger, irritability, anxiety, and mood swings. Many women also notice that they feel less alert and less able to concentrate.\n\nCommon behavioral symptoms include withdrawal from family and friends, and physical or verbal aggression."

Adenomyosis\n\nAdenomyosis is a medical condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) within the myometrium (the thick, muscular layer of the uterus).\n\nThe condition is typically found in women in the ages between 35 and 50. Patients with adenomyosis can have painful and/or profuse menses (dysmenorrhea & menorrhagia, respectively).\n\nAdenomyosis may involve the uterus focally, creating an adenomyoma, or diffusely. With diffuse involvement, the uterus becomes bulky and heavier.\n\nCauses\nThe cause of adenomyosis is unknown, although it has been associated with any sort of uterine trauma that may break the barrier between the endometrium and myometrium, such as Cesarean sections, tubal ligation, pregnancy termination, and any pregnancy.\n\nSome say that the reason adenomyosis is common in women between the ages of 35 and 50 is because it is between these ages that women have an excess of estrogen. Near the age of 35, women typically cease to create as much natural progesterone, which counters the effects of estrogen. After the age of 50, due to menopause, women do not create as much estrogen.\nDiagnosis\nThe uterus may be imaged using ultrasound (US) or magnetic resonance imaging (MR). Transvaginal ultrasound is the most cost effective and most available. Either modality will show an enlarged uterus. On ultrasound, the uterus will have a heterogeneous texture, without the focal well-defined masses that characterize uterine fibroids.\n\nMR provides better diagnostic capability due to the increased spatial and contrast resolution, and to not being limited by the presence of bowel gas or calcified uterine fibroids (as is ultrasound). In particular, MR is better able to differentiate adenomyosis from multiple small uterine fibroids the uterus will have a thickened junctional zone with diminished signal on both T1 and T2 weighted sequences due to succeptibility effects of iron deposition due to chronic microhemorrhage. A thickness of the junctional zone greater than 10 or 12 mm (depending on who you read) is diagnostic of adenomyosis (<8 mm is normal). Interspersed within the thickened, hypointense signal of the junctional zone, one will often see foci of hyperintensity (brightness) on the T2 weighted scans representing small cystically dilatated glands or more acute sites of microhemorrhage.\n\nMR can be used to classify adenomyosis based on the depth of penetration of the ectopic endometrium into the myometrium.\n\nTreatment\nTreatment options range from use of NSAIDS & hormonal suppression for symptomatic relief, to endometrial ablation or hysterectomy for a more or less permanent cure.\n\nThose that believe an excess of estrogen is the cause or adenomyosis, or that it aggravates the symptoms, recommend avoiding products with xenoestrogens and/or recommend taking natural progesterone supplements.\n\n\nOther considerations\nThe differential of abnormal uterine bleeding includes\n\nendometrial polyps \nsubmucosal fibroids \nendometrial hyperplasia \nendometrial carcinoma \npost-menopausal atrophy \nIn a younger woman, considerations should be broadened to include\n\nspontaneous abortion \nectopic pregnancy

A certain amount of free fluid in the pelvis, behind the uterus, is normal at certain points in your cycle; after ovulation, a small amount of fluid released with the egg collects behind the uterus and is eventually reabsorbed by the body. A larger amount of fluid may indicate a ruptured ovarian cyst. Pain is usually present in this instance, but most often resolves on its own within a few days. Infection is another possibility, but in this case symptoms such as pain and fever are often significant.

This is referred to as a prolapsed uterus. Symptoms include a feeling of fullness or pressure in your pelvis (you may describe it as a feeling of sitting on a small ball), low back pain, feeling that something is coming out of your vagina, painful intercourse, difficulty with urination or moving your bowels, and difficulty walking.
