Re: A Decision to makeFrom: Kristy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Oct 22 16:40:57 2002
Kira, Endo is not always palable during a pelvic exam. In fact it's not uncommon for it not to be felt in a pelvic exam. If it's felt on a pelvic exam it would have to be pretty thick for that to happen. Also, while it's true that surgery doesn't help everyone sometimes just knowing that you know what's wrong and that you aren't crazy b/c you know that you and your concerns are validated. I was very glad to have had each of the two laps that I had b/c it proved that something was wrong and that I wasn't imagining it. Of course I have a dr now that trusts my instincts even though it's her that does the diagnosing. As for adhesions, yes they can be pesky. Also just so you know sometimes endometrial implants can hide within the adhesions. I think this is what happened to me when I had my first surgery in 1997. With my second surgery in 1999 my dr found new endo lesions and only one adhesion. This time I feel only the endo and no adhesions. Whether I'm forming new adhesions is another story but I will be looking forward to this b/c it's been rough for me as of late. I've got to run but write any time. Take care, ===== Kristy :) http://www.geocities.com/sokokl/kristyspersonalpage.html Hoping to be a nurse soon but for now just a Medical Secretary who does a lot of learning from reading on the Net, books, my dr(s), as well as sharing my own personal experiences.
