Hi there! Anybody in here that has read the book What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause/Premenopause? Have you tried their recommendations? If yes, how did it go for you?

Hi, Does Anyone Else Have Spells Of Feeling Very Light Headed, Then Start To Experience Pain In An Ovary?

Why Would A Pelvic Mass Found During A Bimanual Exam Not Be Found On An Ultrasound And CT?
My gynecologist told me that she felt a pelvic mass on a bimanual exam that suggested to her that I might have an endometrioma or more on the other side of my vaginal cuff. She also noted a polyp on the vaginal side of the cuff that might be endometriosis. Why would a transvaginal ultrasound and a CT scan find absolutely nothing, when I was in so much pain that I needed hydromorphone in the ER to control it?
Sorry you are still experiencing pain after all you’ve been through, it feels hopeless at times. Maybe the doctor who did your pelvic exam was incorrect….or maybe you have a lesion where they can’t… read more

Surgery Or Not For 7.2 Cm Mass On Left Ovary
I ended up in the ER on Sunday with the worst pain in my life on my left side. I have 5 kids 4 of which were all natural with no meds, at one point the pain ib felt on Sunday was worse. Yesterday Gyno said I have a large mass on my left ovary. He thinks it's an Endometrioma. He was so weird and just kept telling me whatever I want to do. He doesn't think it will go away on its own but said it can. He said my uterus is thick and most likely endometriosis ( he gave it a name that starts with an A… read more

What Seems Better Oophorectomy Followed By HRT Or Partial Hysterectomy And Birth Control?
Having a hysterectomy in 3 weeks but the Doctor is encouraging me to keep my ovaries. I'm 38 and have had endocrine -related cancer before. I really don't want HRT or birth control or this horrible pain to creep back and I have no idea what is the best choice for me.
