This surgery followed a couple of "professional diagnoses" which included "mittelshmirtz, entrapped nerve, scar tissue, MS, MLS..." Nobody listened to me. Until I said enough is enough... I found a new doc. Who referred me to another doc, who referred me to another doc... Finally, an answer. I had an endometrioma. In an old surgical incision. I was absolutely nauseous while waiting for the pathology to come back. I had visions of sarcoma... Doc started me on natural progesterone. This med has been great in lessening my bleeding, but has not done anything for my pain. Since starting it, I have had a cyst/mass rupture and I WILL not go through it again. Been there and done that years ago with less that stellar physician support. Have a good doc now. But progesterone hasn't helped and I am not a good candidate for BCP. Was diagnosed with essential hypertension in my 20's. I am now told that hyst with removal of ovaries is probably in my near future...I say bring it on... But, I am still waiting. Along with all of this, I have been experiencing "bad" paps. Had cryo over a decade ago for dysplasia. All clear for over decade, now history repeats itself. HPV negative, no evidence that estrogen contributes to cervical dysplasia, no evidence of cancer...just this mind- racking ASCUS! Come on cervix, you have had 8 months to make up your mind. Can't decide, well I am of the mind to decide for you.. YOU ARE OUT OF HERE. My last vaginal ultrasound showed 3 complex ovarian masses, 6 simple cysts, one large fibroid, and my left ovary adhered to my uterus. Life goes on. Life changes occur. I believe that I am going to go through menopause soon. My choices include lupron/endo excision or hyst/BSO. I am going to opt for the hyst with ovaries gone. I watched my mother die too young of metastatic breast cancer, estrogen fed. Estogen is a feel good hormone, but it is often a killer. And I have too much to live for. Two boys. Mom and I discussed this often before her death. If she were my age, in a similar life stage, she would probably have made different decisions... but right now, it's not about her, its about me...
