Re: ENDOMETRIOSIS AND VARICOSE VEINS ON THE UTERUS

My doctor didn't say anything about helping me...he just wants to see me
again. In the meantime, I have to live with this pain and pressure. My
mom and grandmother had these also and they had hystos, but not because
of these veins. However, my mom's friend had huge varicose veins
(apparently as big around as the doctor's pinky) and she had to get a
hysto done. Maybe, like the varicose veins you get on your legs, they
can do laser surgery to make them shrink??? If you find out any more,
please let me know
