Hi my name is Samntha I am 23 years old and I have 2 children.. I have a few question and would like your opinion. I was seeing my reg. doc for 11 years in those 11 years I complained of bad menstral cramps, that would make me vomit and pass out from the pain. After i had my daughter in febuary of 99 my cramps went to starting the week before i started after a few months of that they went to a week before and a week after and during…and so on and so.. now i am in pain 24/7. I have been on every B/C pill there is except for depo. My doc mentioned lupron and the other one…but i will not take them,I have read to much!! So anyway in march I had a lap to check for endo because they said I was text book for the disease well an hr later and i was in recovery and they said everything look great all my organs were normal and that there wasnt any endo… So i was put on yet some more b/c pills and told to try them now!!! Ok so they didnt work so i went back to they gyn and she said to try hypno(which makes it easier to deal with and less stressed but still alot of pain) and reiki. well when that didnt “work” she told me that there was nothing more that they could do and she wanted me to try PROZAC because she thinks I am depressed and I am venting it through my uterus and ovaries. I told her yes maybe I am depressed but it is because i am in pain all the time and not very happy with my drs.. Well needless to say I am now switching drs and I see my new MD tomorrow(8/2/00) and I hope she will help me if not i am at a lost where next. I had a dr from PA call and said that he thinks it sounded like adneomyosis….I was wondering what you thought this has been getting worse for months and all that take away the pain is vicodin or percocet!! But i hate to take them at all!! Please let me know..I thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Samantha |

Samantha, You CAN be treated and keep your uterus! I had a large fibroid tumor, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and a hernia. Dr. delJunco treated all of those problems. I understand your dilemma. Probably all of Dr. del Junco’s patients have been there. Don’t give up. He CAN help you. God Bless! Dixie |

Hello Dr. DJ, Well, it’s been swell! Just received my 18 month report from my gyn – all normal on my front. No signs of fibroids, cysts, swelling, pain, bad periods, no other metabolic disturbances. In fact my doc is ever amazed how I escaped hysterectomy. So, naturally, I have to repeat my thanks to Dr. DJ and his team for offering this surgery. I know there is much discussion nowadays about various alternatives to hysterectomy, and this is commendable, but even with today’s knowledge I would still opt for FAS. I keep trying to figure out why, and the answer keeps coming back to me the same every time – common sense, then skill, then dedication. It’s like an olympic torch: once lit, it should never be allowed to die. So, ladies, pass it on! And, Dr. DJ – please let us all know if and when you will be available for more talk shows, PR events, possible interviews, etc, as I know from your website you engage in occasionally. These types of activities make us all proud and remind us of our own successes. If we don’t pass on the torch, then who will?? Good Health to All, Mica |

Follow up Surgery

In your testimonial from L.W. in Colorado, she mentions that she went “back for follow up surgery, which is necessary.” I see no reference to this in the procedures part of the website; perhaps I missed something? Does everyone need to come back in three months for follow up surgery and what is the surgery for? This would greatly increase the total cost of the FAS wouldn’t it — another stay, more hospital and hotel bills, etc.? Please clarify. Thanks. |

Incontinence after Hysterectomy
Author | Message | |

I had a complete hysterectomy in December 1998. There were “chocolate” cysts, fibroid tumors and a great deal of endometriosis and adhesions. I had never been pregnant and was 53 and had been on HRT for about 5 years from start of peri-menopausal symptoms. The operation was long, but uneventful. It was done lapriscoply and vaginaly until the “complications” (endometriosis and cysts) were found and then a small bikini-line incision was made. I had draining (spotting) for about 3 months. Now, about 1 year later I started to develop urinary “leaking” when lifting heavy objects, coughing, sneezing or laughing hard. A co-worker has suggested that these symptoms could be related to the hysterectomy and that my bladder may need to be reattached. Does this sound logical? Should I refer my problem to my OB/GYN or a urologist? |

Dear Dr. Junco Jr: I am finding myself between a Rock & a Hard Place. I am 42 years of age, I have no plans on having any more kids, but for the last 3 years, I have episodes of ‘bleeding problems’…& I have had several visits to different OB/Gyn’s, & I have been told that I have ‘several Cysts’ that are ‘Entangled’ (so to speak), on both of my ovaries, more so on the right side, than the left, & I also have a large fibroid tumor within/or/on my uterous, & my doctor says that it measures ???? as if I am 12-13 weeks pregnant….hummm. At times I have Heavy Bleeding, but for the last 4 months, I have Not has any Menses, until he performed a procedure on me,’sonogram’ (vaginally),that showed upon that small screen…..an Ugly Tumor, & Plenty of cysts on my ovaries. How can All,these Cysts be removed, that are really engulfed,entangled,like the picture you see, if you were to ‘OPEN’ the inside of a Golf Ball? I really would like to ‘Save my Uterous’ & my Ovaries, but what if; They (the surgeons),tell me that, there was ‘No Way’ they could Save either, After they saw ‘The Full Picture,’ once they got inside? |
