endometriosis…please read?

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:23:29 +0000

Following from my post yesterday about severe period pain (which,btw Y!A deleted when they were doing their maintenance!) I have been doing more research and came across alot of information about Endometiosis….it seems as though it is very common, and many women are not aware that they have it, many of us just think severe period pain is normal and try and carry on as usual.
By simple surgery this can be fixed…Endometriosis also causes unexplained infertility with women.

I have an appoint at my doctors tomorrow but am wondering, how many women have been diagnosed of this and were you easily treated? Have you noticed the difference in your period pain?

For those of you (like me and thousands of other women out there) the symptoms are so general but if you suffer from the following since going off the pill again ttc, have a look at this website and see if it matches your symptoms, you may be very surprised!

For years I have had nearly all the symptoms listed with this condition and the doctor always put me on the pill, which helped but only for a very short time. I was referred to a physio when I get leg pain, and they kept telling me it was relating to my back when I have never done anyting to it! Im not saying that I know 100% for sure that I have this condition, but its looking fairly positive..and Im actually releived to know that what i have is NOT common and I may not have to actually put up with it or go back on the pill again

yes it can be treated but the treatment is pretty much enduced menopause to stop the endo from spreading.

I had this for years, endured 3 surgeries to figure out what was causing the pain with no luck, when we decided to TTC the first year we couldnt figure out why i couldnt conceive, finally i asked my doctor if i was infertile and he said i was but there was a chance it could be endo, he put me through a last surgery, a laparoscopy to be more specific and finally we found endo was eating me out!!! the one thing that helped was that my husband that year got deployed to Iraq with the Marines and shortly after he was deployed i had my surgery and all those months he spent there, i spent back home having Lupron Depo shots and taking BirthControl pills to help with the pain which to my surprise they did, i had never heard before that the BCpills actually helped for the pain but in my case this did.

after been on Lupron for nearly a year, my doctor decided to do a last check just hoping that i was at least healing to the point that i could conceive at my short age, only 22, needless to say, my husband came home and 8 months later after TTC we conceived our baby boy who is now nearly 3 years old, because of the endometriosis and my infertility problem every doctor we saw told us that our baby wouldnt make it, and yet here he is a miracle because my endometriosis pain came back soon after i was told i was pregnant, it was hard for me, now we are TTC again, altho we havent had any luck for 16 months now we are hoping that soon we get that baby we wish for, i can tell you for sure, i hated the lupron depo shots cus i had hot flashes and i was moody all the time, im just glad my husband wasnt here to put up with me or he would have divorced me if he would have been here and saw the crazy state of mind i was on, i guess what im saying is that endometriosis doenst only just hurt on your pelvis but it also can mess up with your behavior, it got me very depressed so my doctor had to put me on antidepressents on the time being because it was really bad, having my husband gone for 9 months and me alone dealing with my surgeries and add to that the worry of not seeing my hubby again if something happend to him in iraq or the fact that i could never be able to have a baby if his was depressing enough, so consider that endometriosis is not as easy to deal with as many think.

i really hope what you are experiencing is not endo, if it is, please get the treatment you need, follow up with your obgyn and your physician in my case both my drs helped me to get trhough this, if they wouldnt have catch it on time, i would have lost my ovaries and then never have the boy i have today.

The best of luck for you.

endometriosis- i have jst found out i have it- pretty scared any others out there?

admin — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 05:28:18 +0000

hi, I have recently found out I could be suffering from endometriosis- i saw my gynae and had a scan and it revealed my right ovary has moved behind my uterus- i'venever screamed so much when he touched it! now he says i could have endo- i'm only 17 but pretty scared of the effects on fertility- the pain in really bad but i can deal with that as long as i have the chance of having children- sorry to be so deep but i'm really worriesd about this- i have my laproscopy in November, and i'm so scared. is there any other women out there with this condition ?? if so could you give me some info on what happens in the op and also the chances of infertility, my gynae din't want ot discuss it! thank you i appriciate any answers.x.

I'm sorry you are feeling so scared right now. I know this can be a scary experience. I personally have not been through this but a very close friend of mine was diagnosed when we were 17 (we're both 23 now). I know the gyno told her she would most likely still be able to have kids. The gyno put my friend on the pill and she just takes it year-round — she skips her period every month so she hasn't had a period since she was 17. When she is ready to start a family, she will go off the pill and it should be fine. When she is done having kids, they recommended a hysterectomy for her.

Please find another gyno. Your doctor should be willing to discuss any and everything with you. They should be able to tell you all of your options and possible risks. You will feel better having a doctor who is completely honest with you and able to inform you better. Do some research online on your own, and please reach out to someone in your life for comfort! I know you are scared and that's okay… just please get yourself some support so you can start to feel better.

Have you had laparoscopic surgery for infertility?

admin — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:24:19 +0000

My husband and I have been trying unsuccesfully to get pregnant for two years now. At the behest of my doctor, I have pretty much decided to undergo laparoscopic surgery to check for endometriosis, blocked tubes, etc. Have you ever had this surgery? Did it find anything that was repairable, and what were your results? Any info you could give would be wonderful.

I have had 6 laproscapys….(I also have endometriosis).. unfortunately, if you do have it, it's not curable, but the laproscapy helped for about 6 months following, then the endometrisos came back. It hurts a little when the drugs wear off. Mainly fom the air they put inside your tummy, to avoid damaging other organs. For the first few days after you will experience shoulder pain, and pain around the area where they have operated.
I wish you all the best with yours, and hope you have a sucessful pregnancy.
