I am 50 years old and recently diagnosed with a T1cN0 invasive ductile carcinoma (1.6cm). I had a lumpectomy and 3 sentinel nodes removed which showed no lymph node involvement. After getting two oncologist’s opinions I have decided to forego chemotherapy and only have radiation and Tamoxifen therapy. |

Endometrial Ablation
Author | Message | |
Chris F |
My wife is 41 yrs of age, diagnosed with uterine fibroids for years now, and was told she is equivalent to being 3 months preg (uterine size from fibroids). No more desire for children. Her only symptoms are excessive menses for approx one day of her cycle. Progesterone cream has helped some (I suppose it counters an estrogen dominant condition). She has been thinking about endometrial ablation using the “hot water balloon”. I know it doesn’t cure the underlying fibroid disease but what do you think of this Tx option in her case? Also, since it does not get rid of fibroids, will they just grow outward then since they have no other place to go and possible cause other problems?….like urinary, bowel, etc. Thanks in advance.

Surgery for endometriomas

Dear dr. I’m 19 years old and Ive just been told that I have two 15cm cysts one on each ovary. Please give me some advice. The doctors keep saying that at least one ovary may have to be removed and there is a small possibility for removal of both due to bleeding when they cut the ovary. I’ve already scheduled for surgery. If I make them leave my ovary and it is bleeding what are the complications? |

ENDOMETRIOSIS AND RECURRENCE RATES
Author | Message | |

I am in my early forties. 2 years ago I had a laproscopy for pelvic pressure and bladder and urethral irritation. The ob-gyn found endometriosis and pelvic varicosities and recommended hysterectomy. I asked for laser removal of the endometriosis and he refused because of my age and reluctantly gave me lupron injections for 3 months which did next to nothing. I am having severe pelvic pain most of the time now and saw another OB-GYN who after a pelvic exam says I have endometriosis and adenomyosis, again recommending hysterectomy. He states that laser surgery for endometriosis is only temporary and it will recur. An ultrasound measures my uterus at 9.1 x 5.5 x 6.2 cm at day 21 of my cycle. Is this an enlarged uterus? What are the recurrence rates for endometriosis at your clinic? Do you use a similar technique of Dr. David Redwine of st charles medical center in bend, oregon of near contact laser therapy for endometriosis? I do like the idea of you repairing any problems you find during surgery. It makes sense. |

I had a total hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis when I was 27 yrs. old. It had shut down one of my kidneys and swelled the other to two times its size. My uterus, ovaries, and tubes were removed. I only had 1 child. I had a miscarriage after I had her. This was devastating to me. I wish I had know of FAS back then. The hormonal change, physical change, and mental change is mind-boggling. Please let me know if you know of any Drs. who precribe natural hormone therapy. It really scares me with all the bad talk about estrogen replacement therapy. I have stopped taking Estratest because of the weight gain. I have started taking Promensil, a natural herb supposed to be for menapause. |

I am currently taking 2 Micronor on a daily basis to stop me from having a period. I have been taking Micronor for 3 or 4 years. Is this really ok to be doing this to myself? |

I am so happy you told this young lady it was not normal to not have a period. Well Dr.Del Junco I have a serious concern among african american women who think it is not normal to slough off the linning of the uterus for five days.It brings tear to my eyes the way some of these african american women are still teaching geche ways about the female body when the lord has already set what the body is and what it ain’t; ways that are not right. I’ll have to say Dr. this has been my cycle since middle school my cycle has always lasted four to five days.I think this is normal,but I am asking you. |
