I know its not a cure. But i am debating whether to have a hysterectomy because i am just sick of my female organs. I just wondered if anyone had had a hysterectomy because of there endo and how it has affected it and if they got any relief from it.

I've been using Visanne for 6 months now. It took away my pain, but every single day I have to deal with blood discharge and tissues. My period completely stopped 1 month after I started using Visanne. In the beginning I thought that my body is cleaning out since I have endometriosis for many years. I brought my concern to my gynecologist, but she just shrugged her shoulders... I have noticed that more water i drink, the more discharge is coming out. I have to wear a pad every day.

Does anyone ever feel the majority of your pain in your hips and lower back during a flare? I certainly have pretty severe pain in my pelvic area, and thats where it actually started, but my hips and lower back feel like there's so much pressure in them its painful to sit or lay in any position.

Hi.

I am intermittently taking visanne. Side effects are different each time. This time round I've been spotting during visanne(started treatment 1day after period).

Meds finished in Nov and just realised I had sex during fertility my week in Dec.

Can I fall pregnant? How long does it take to wear off/be out of your system?

Previously it cut my ovulation out completely with no signs of spotting or period

Has anyone tried changing their diet?

Has this helped with endo symptoms
in anyway?

Does anyone else have skin that is sensitive to touch (without obvious cause)? I don't have this problem all of the time, it comes and goes. But, it is so strange and annoying... Gentle touches on my arms or legs hurt!! It feels kind of like when you touch a bruise (but, there is no bruise...).

Is this one of those weird, unexplained symptoms of endo, or something else?

For those of you who have been on Visanne did you notice a change in your periods? My first one on it came late and lasted for about two weeks and this one is even later or possibly non-existent I had some cramps around the time I should have gotten it and maybe a drop. Can it stop your period altogether? My doctor never mentioned it when she prescribed it to me and it slipped my mind to ask. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Does anyone else have sudden fatigue seemingly outta nowhere and it hits hard not really with or without pain just hard core exhaustion it seems :(

How do u deal with your endometriosis each month? Do u have any advice. I use lots of Motrin hot baths and a heating pad. Can't use birth control because my body reacts badly to the hormones even the low dose.
