Think I may have endrometriosis, but need advice and to compare symptomsFrom: patricia (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Dec 31 22:11:16 2004
My name is Patricia. You don't know me. I came across your address through a women's site that gives advice about endometriosis. The reason why I think that I have it is because I have had about 3 or more miscarriages in my life and one successful pregnancy (however, there was a tumor or clot growing with my daughter and I bled bright red and sometimes brown blood). I have once had a laparascopy that showed that I had a follicular cyst on my right ovary. Since I have had this laparascopy, I have had severe pain on my right ovary. It is so bad that I cry for 2 nights in a row with my periods. I double over in pain. I can't lay down because I toss in turn so much outta pain. I have no appetite, but I do make myself eat. I used to throw up when I was younger, and I have heavy bleeding, and just more pain than normal. I don't know what normal is because I have always had extremely painful periods. This has affected my life so much because my cycle seems to come twice a month. The last week in a month, and ends in the first week of the next month. Then it will come again the last week in that month. So, my sex life isn't what it should be and my periods seem to last forever. I discharge alot between cycles. Its like a yellow color. I actually have no sex drive and once again, the pain is badddd. Many people and doctors in emergency rooms have told me this is normal and that some women have this kind of pain throughout their cycles. Well, I can't accept that anymore and have an appointment scheduled this month to get checked. I am not effective at work during the time I am on my cycle. I call in sick. When I was growing up as a young girl, I spent alot of time in the nurse's office. I mean, its been horrible. Once in a while, with deep penetration, I even have pain. I also have had alot of yeast infections since I have been with my husband and I think it may be because he doesn't scrub his genitals after sex. He just kind of wipes across them. So, I was wondering if any of these symptoms are familiar to you. I also believe I have it because I never had a DNC when I had miscarriages and never had an ultrasound cat scan or anything else done. You can reply to me at this email address. Thanks for your time and I am glad to hear that you are recovering from this because it really makes life very difficult and I am tired of being told that there is nothing wrong with me. Thanks for your advice.
