Hi Girls-
I completly sympathize!!!! I have been on the search for a gyno that is
familar with endometrosis- I had been seeing my gyno and getting monthly
ultrasounds for a cyst! I was in such pain!! I did my own research and
found out about endo. I asked my gyno if she thought that i might have
endo. My current gyno told me there was no way I had endo- that if I
did I would have a blood filled cyst and that the cyst that i had was
not blood filled! I didnt take her opinion as fact- I went to a
reproductive endocornologist- We did surgery and I was diagnosed with
Stage II endometriosis and they removed the BLOOD FILLED CYST off my
right ovary!! This was about a month ago-It angers me so much!!! and I'm
dying to go back to my gyno( I go in a couple weeks) to let her know how
wrong she was!!
Its so frustrating that many gynocologists dont know much about this
disease!
I live in PA and am on the hunt for a endo sympathetic gyno! Dont give
up girls!!!
