Exercise Help Symptoms

Concord, NH

I was curious if anyone else has ever noticed exercise helps symptoms? I was doing CrossFit regularly and I noticed my cramping, spot bleeding, pms symptoms subside. I noticed when I am heavily stressed they come full force. But doing intense exercise did the reverse.

I read in an article that doing core work is a no no due to pulling in the stomach and risking spreading the adhesions to the other side of the stomach ? It sounds logical doesnt it?

Anyone On Visanne Having Unbearable Pain?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Montreal, QC

I have been on Visanne 2mg for 6 weeks. The spotting/light bleeding started 10 days after I was on the pill, and until today, the bleeding never stopped. It got a bit heavier starting at week 5: bright red blood with some small clots, but much less bleeding than a regular period. From time to time, I got cramps and I took an Advil, then I can carry on without any problem. But for the last 3-4 days, my pain is getting much much worse. At 2AM I woke up by some very sharp spasms in my tail bone… read more

I would definitely have a second opinion as visanne can actually cause cysts (or so it says in the manual). A laparoscopy would be good to at least diagnose you properly with endo. Maybe you have… read more

Has Anyone Struggled With Low Estrogen Levels For No Obvious Reason?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I'm specifically asking women who still have their ovaries and are premonopause are not on any hormone inhibitors (like Lupron). It is so weird to me because it starting showing in my bloodwork after excision surgery and my hysterectomy (complete, not radical) that I have low estrogen levels. I figured it was my body adjusting to the excising of the endometriomas as well as maybe the removal of my tubes, but the low estrogen has continued to stay abnormally low and I am definitely experiencing… read more

Nothing On Ultrasound?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Montreal, QC

It took so many years to "convince" a doctor that I had endo. My ultrasound are always clean. No cysts or anything.

What do your ultrasounds show?

Ultra sounds do not show endo. The only way to know for sure if That is what is going on inside is to have a laparoscopy procedure, to look inside . Hope that helps.
