I am having surgery to remove the scar tissue and while I am asleep, they want to put an IUD in as well. I am super nervous about the IUD and want to know if there are side effects, and if the IUD is a good route to go.
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
Surgeries can cause that to happen,even if not removed.
Hello, new here, 25 yrs old. I found this site researching endometriosis. I’m really happy knowing I’m not suffering alone, even though I do wish none of us had to suffer. I started Visanne in March this year after visiting my gyno, she told me I had endometriosis which explained those awful debilitating, excruciating fainting pains. I started Visanne about the week after, however my period hadn’t started yet, she did say I could take it nevertheless. My period pains usually last two to three… read more
I stopped taking it, can’t deal with the side effects. Will be trying natural remedies and a diet change. Hope things change for you soon.
I used to sleep great, but when I start getting endo pain I have a hard time staying asleep. If the tiniest thing wakes me up, that's it, I'm awake. If I take something before bed it wears off before it can help. And I don't always have an opportunity for a nap later in my day. Has anyone found a way to get restful, restorative sleep? Only getting 6 hours of sleep a night almost every night is really wearing me down.
When I get a flareup, I get about four hours asleep, so I usually take an edible and I sleep all night
My doctor at school suggested that one but my doctor back home said it's only good for people who've have children. Anyone have experience with the mirena?
I have one, it took a while to settle in, maybe up to two years to be honest, but no complaints, i do still have some flares, but started getting regular peroids again 4 years into it (i know that… read more
Has anyone else had cysts since having the merina? I haven’t had any before but since having the merina have had to have one removed that was grapefruit sized- I’ve read on another page about the 2 being linked.....thoughts?
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?
I was recently taken off the depo shot 6 months ago and put on a birth control that you take blue pills 3 months straight and the sugar pills for one week at the end of the cycle. Not sure if I should go back to the doctor and discuss different treatment or not because last time I went, my doctor told me surgery would be the other option. I am trying not to go that route, but the pain gets almost unbearable.
I too have been having this. Pelvic pain is worse at night when I’ve been laying down for hours as well as aches in my arms and legs! Wakes me up from sleep and keeps me up for a few hours. It’s the… read more
Endo needs to be removed deep and wide by the excision technique. Not every OBGYN knows how. When it's done correctly the Endo has a very small chance of returning. Call one of these Surgeons and take care of yourself. If it's not possible to see one of these surgeons, still call and they can recommend a quality surgeon near you , who can give you good care.
