Thank you x
I tried 3 IUDs and my body rejected all 3; then tried Norethrindrone and I hated it . My weight changed for the worse and it effected my mood. So I stopped . My doc told me about a newer pill called Slynd . Wondering if anyone else has had experience with this ?
You're most welcome. Incidentally, I'm not sure where you are in your endo journey. Birth control can help, but really they just mask symptoms. It's important that your doctor tell you that it doesn't… read more
Hi I hope someone can help I've been to my GP he did blood test and my estrogen levels are low I'm 47 it's causing a lot of problems down below he has prescribed 10mg of vagifem weekly to help I was a bit concerned because I said to him I taught that estrogen feeds endometriosis he said it was fine because it is a low dose and I'm not taking it by mouth so it's just helping the problem below has anyone tried this before as I'm getting really depressed cause I've tried all of the creams and… read more
Yes I was talking a low estrogen pill orally, it made everything so much worse than it would have been if I was just using my progesterone implant. The implant wasn’t controlling my bleeding so we… read more
I'm 17 years old right now and have been dealing with chronic pain(abdominal and migraines) since I was 12. It started with dually migraines and then went into daily nausea. I went to every odctot possible and they couldnt figure out what it was. I have been in the ER too often to count. It went over too extreme abdominal pain more in the upper area and then in the lower area also. I was checked for gallstones through ultrasound and blood tests. I also had a CAT scan done and two upper and one… read more
Love I am dealing with chronic pain I have both I trying to figure out what can help.
I was wondering if any of you have bleeding when you go the the restroom? I do almost every time and had always thought that it could have something to do with endo. I have had the laparoscopic surgery in my uterus to remove endo but not in my bowels and am concerned there might be endo there too? Anyone else experiencing that? Sorry if it's gross I'm just unsure what to make of it
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member sounds like internal hemorriods to me, but I'd have a doctor check it out. I haven't experienced endometriosis within my intestines, only outside the GI tract, so not… read more
I have suffered with ibs and gyno issues for years and now and think I probably need another laparoscapy as always in pain but now my ibs style stuff just seems to be getting worse.
Bit lost with it allxx
Show anything like endometriosis
I recently had my colonoscopy and part of many reasons I pushed for one is I was hoping they would at least biospy my bowel nodule but no traces of that nodule were… read more
I'm trying to decide if surgery or the pill is a better option.
Most of the blood in my stool has been from hemorrhoids. I had that issue long before I had endometriosis symptoms. In my first laparoscopy, I didn't have endometriosis on my bowels, but I do now.
My gynecologist told me that she is certain I have endometriosis as well as pcos, with all my symptoms fitting them perfectly. But she also informed me that it would require surgery to confirm it so that I can get the treatment needed. I can’t take time out of work or college to do the surgery and life is miserable living it in pain and sleeplessness all the time. It’s not just a matter of missing out on work or school, it’s the money too. I can’t afford to be off more than a day, and I’ve been… read more
I can't answer why but I agree that it is ridiculous and unfair. I had the discovery surgery just to get told "yes you have it" and had to have the excision surgery 3 weeks later. Such a waste.
Hi everyone! I am 25 and have learnt i have endometrioma in my left ovarian (4cm) and high CA125 level, my doctor wants me on Visanne. I have read so many side effects and therefore i couldnt dare taking Visanne.. I am on Yasmin contraceptive pill instead. My mother told me she also had endometriosis when she was few years older than me and even with endometrioma in one ovarian, she could get pregnant and give birth to my sister.. Could you share with me if you have similar experiences… read more
I've been on visanne for 6months. Almost 4months having this spot/slight bleeding. The next day right after finishing 6months taking visanne i got slight period. I dont know if it is normal. My endo… read more
Does anyone else get really painful, bleeding hemorrhoid from being constipated all the time? What do you do to help? Hemorrhoid cream does nothing. And I've been taking fiber supplements to help with the constipation. But if I take a little too much, I go to the other extreme for a few days.
I suffered with constipation for many years, along with vomiting and my doctor I was seeing at the time--kept telling me to do the fiber supplements, watch what I eat, etc. I just couldn't win. I had… read more
