Hi,

I am 30 yrs old and have one boy.I too have been suffering from this horrible condition and have been in immense pain and agony! My heart goes out to all of those out there suffering and letting the disease control their lives! I mean its so debilitating.

What i suffer from is slightly different though,its adenomyosis(internal endo).I have had a couple of opinions on this from different gynaecs and i am hoping that whatever info I can give you here may help you in some way....

I have been of the verge of a drastic procedure as hyst.But pls pls research ur options and weihg the pros and cons of this course of action! At our age 29-30 , we r far too young to be considering this.If you are alright with the possibility of not having any more kids , please visit this website in case you already havent. http://www.alternativesurgery.com/index.php. Please chk this link .After reading about this , my inclination towards drastic steps has changed hugely! In case you are still inclined and want to try for at least one more child, please check out the web for websites that tell you about other peoples experiences with alternative treatments. http://www.endometriosissupport.com/ http://www.stopendometriosis.com/ http://www.endo-resolved.com/testimonies.html

Please see if the above links help you in any way.I know we are desperate to get rid of the pain constant suffering we have to go through.

Please do think thoroughly before you consider hysterectomy,coz we are too young to be going to the aftermath of it all ,in case it dosent work and comes with a lot of irriversible side effects!

I hope i have been able to help you in some way to at least reconsider and research your options some more before you take any drastic decision!

Wishing u good luck with your treatment and whatever you decide to do ,positively hoping you have many more healthy ,painfree decades to look forward to......
