What should I do? Do I own endometerosis?


Had my appendicts out3/20/08 and it had endo on/in it so Dr, sent me to gyn...gyn did not do ANY test for endo basically wants to put me on Lupron shots for 6 months!! I do not want to ake this horrid drug unless itis a last resort..shouldnt My gyn confirm I enjoy endo and that it was not just contained by my appendicts? Should I seek a 2nd opinion? The DR who did surgery did not see any endo anywhere else he did not even know it be in my appendits...so if he didnt see it than why would another dr treat me for it PLUS the Lupron is over 200$$$ my insurnace doesnt cover it b/c no other treatment has be tried...I do have irregular peroids and they are very immense, and very painful but of late started this way in October of 2007 i enjoy a LOT of pain in my abdominal and cycst o my ovaries..I own 6 kids my last one born on 6/27/2007 and I breast feed them adjectives and I had 5 c-sections and 1 eptopic removed. I am generally vigorous, aside from this no other major problems just impressively sore and it is getting worse..but my gyn never asked any questions about symptoms he merely said we will try lupron shots for 6 months..and that was all...So I am not sure what to do please any info would be long-suffering! I am so scared oh and your next interview yes I would like another baby and I am 28yrs outdated. Thank you and God Bless

Help! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY MUM. IS IT SERIOUSE?

From what I've read on different web sites, endometerosis begins inside the uterus and can spread to other organs. I would say that if the doctor that performed your appendectomy said that it have endometerosis, then you do have endometerosis.

I am really bothered by the certainty that your ob/gyn is handling this the way he has. Did he get hold of a report on your appendix? Did he just take your word for it? If he did, he shouldn't hold. I mean, you are not a medical professional and couldn't possible given an accurate description of what the other doctor found. I think that your doctor should hold done an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis before he started treatment for the endometerosis and, if nothing else, to check the ovarian cysts to see if they've changed. I reckon that a lot of the treatments for the serious cases of endometerosis can cause infertility, though.

I woud recommend that you bring back a second opinion ASAP. This doctor does NOT have your best interest at heart. Get a copy of your medical files from both doctors and go for a second opinion right away.

Good luck.

Symptoms?

Get a 2nd opinion. If it is endo, it needs to be taken concern of ASAP, as to prevent further problems. No Dr. in their right mind would force a drug like that on you short looking at all other options first.

What is the typical length for the penis ?

You already enjoy 6 kids at 28 and you want more? Are you nuts? Perhaps it's God's sign to tell you to stop. And if you had endometriosis on the appendix, after it's a very good sign that it's other places as in good health. You just don't get it on your appendix and not anywhere else. It could be on your small bowel and of late by you saying you have enormously heavy periods and abdominal cramp - that's very common next to endo of the uterus. The traditional treatment IS Lupon. You could try birth control, but neither actualy gets rid of the endo - it just controls it. The with the sole purpose way to get rid of it would be to hold a hysterectomy. So it's either the shots or a hysterectomy. It's your choice.

Girl cross-question.. boys, nearby is no explanation within reading this!?



Birth Control Question...?
Birth Control Question?
Condom broke during sex...?
  • Is getting fingered everyday fruitless for you?
  • Is mundane that your tummy is a bit bloated during term?
