Does pain and swelling increase during menopause in lipedema?

Dear, I also had periods of increase. But it is hard to tell whether it is hormones, sleep, or stress.

I have something similar. It changes from day to day, so I try not to judge the whole process from one day.

Does it also increase on days with hot flashes? I wondered about that.

I would not explain every symptom only by lipedema. If it is one-sided, suddenly worse, red, or hot, I would take it more seriously.

Lipedema symptoms may feel more noticeable during hormonal transition periods in some people, but menopause alone does not explain everything. Sleep, stress, weight-metabolic status, thyroid, venous circulation, and activity level should be evaluated together. See lipedema and menopause.

I understand, doctor. I noted that it should not be viewed only as hormones.

I have something similar. It changes from day to day, so I try not to judge the whole process from one day.

Symptoms should be evaluated together, and new one-sided swelling, redness, warmth, chest pain, or shortness of breath should not be delayed. See lipödem belirtileri ve ayırıcı tanı.

This made it clearer for me. I think I was trying to make everything perfect and then giving up quickly.
