I have been feeling ill past 5-6 months. Have gone to several doctors, and finally had a transvaginal ultrasound done which showed ovarian cysts (largest one size of golf ball). Was told cysts cannot make me feel sick though. Had laparoscopy and told things looked normal. But now am also told I may have adenomyosis (uterus is enlarged and having terrible pelvic/abdominal pain that is making me feel very sick all over). I am 46, had four successful pregnancies. I’ve always had very heavy periods, but never painful ones. I am confused really as to what I have, but have had endoscopy, upper GI, CT scan, etc. to rule out other things. I was prescribed Synarel to shrink the cysts, but am scared to start it because have read of terrible side effects. Was recommended an IUD or birth control pills for the possible adenomyosis. The pain is getting worse and am feeling so sick. Can adenomyosis cause pain like this that’s almost daily? Any thoughts on Synarel, IUD, and birth control pills? I have read that hysterectomy is really only “cure” for adenomyosis. Is some kind of surgery, either FAS or hysterectomy, usually only way to get rid of it? Thanks so much! |

I have been having extreme pain in lower left abdomen. I had a CT scan a few days ago and it showed fibroid tumors. Is there anything I can do with the pain. I feel tired and lethargic. I go for an ultra-sound tomorrow. It is necessary to do an ultra-sound plus a CT Scan? |

I have had pelvic pain for 3 years now. I have also undergone numerous surgeries. Removal of an ovary, appendics, fibroids, endometriosis and myomectomy and HSG performed. I have been prescribed birth control pills, lupron, steroids, pain medications, and now prometrium and physical therapy. I am still experiencing alot of pain. I have severe cramping during menses and pain during intercourse. I have been told the only option I have left is a hysterectomy. I am running out of options. I need an alternative method before hysterectomy. What are my options? |
