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. |
