Re: Aaaaaaaaaargh (Needed to vent)From: mamasita (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jan 27 16:05:12 2004
Noelle, Endometriosis, has nothing to do if whether your ovaries move freely. On exam the doctor can sometimes feel nodules, that might be endo and if the patient has pain across the cul-de-sac on exam, this is usually related to endometriosis. Hormones will not make endo go away, the best you might hope for with these is to suppress some symtpoms of endo, but you will be exchanging them for symptoms of menopause and possible bone loss. The best treatment for endo is to surgically remove it. It needs to be excised, every last bit of it every type of lesion.
