19 with Endo.. How fast can it come back?From: SnowAngel1988 (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Apr 24 15:18:15 2007
Hello Everyone, I am new to the forums. I just turned 19 and have been diagnosed with Endometriosis and Cervical Dysplasia. I had a Laparoscopy in February. Two days after surgery I had a Spinal Tap, a week after surgery I had a Colposcopy. The first period after surgery was a little more painful a little heavier, but that is to be expected. The second period... I was in so much pain I couldn't stand up for fear of passing out. I recently moved out of state. I called my doctor from back home and he said the amount of pain was not normal and I needed to get into a doctor asap. Two weeks later here I am. I finally got the nerve to make the appointment and it was yesterday. They are telling me that it's the Endo acting up again and they're currently trying to stop my periods. They're trying to get me on a birth control that will stop my periods, help ease the pain. My pap was very painful but they, I think, shrugged it off as uterin tenderness because I am to get my period next week. I guess... i've been sick with many things, first it was hypoglycemia, then it was anorexia and depression then it was Chronic Daily Migraines for 3 years. I have lived when no one expected me to, I graduated high school when no one thought or believed I really could. My one dream in life was to have a child of my own. I am 19 and receiving news that I may never be able to have the bond of pregnancy, I may never be able to have a child naturally. I am also receiving news that I may develop cancer because of the precancerous cells, that the Endo may already be coming back... I have no idea how to deal with this right now. Honestly, I don't want to be in pain for the rest of my life, doctors told me that when I had my migraines. The pain gets so bad that I can't even stand up sometimes. I'm also having abdominal pain before bowel movements now, and i've never had that like this before... it's not hemeroids. This is like a knife in my pelvic region/abdomen an hour or sooner before I have a BM. Can Endometriosis come back this quickly? What do I need to be asking my doctor about this stuff? All I know is the pain that i'm in and I know that I'm not sure how to deal with this. I am honestly scared to death. I've gone through a lot in my life but I was not expecting something that no one can cure, and I sure wasn't expecting to hear that it's acting up again... so soon???? Has anyone had experiences like this? What should I be asking my doctor? Are there books or websites out there that can help me better understand this? What are my chances after all this of having children? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ~*Kari*~
