Hello Debbie! Geeze, i also have pain after inserting a tampon, and that
is why i cant use them anymore! I had posted a question about this a
while back because i just didnt know why it was so painful to use a
tampon, i thought i was just WEIRD! LOL. Like you mentioned its hard to
know if its just the endo or ALSO adeno. Well i have all of the
symptoms you mentioned, but like we said its hard to know. My endo is
stage II, and from what iv read it wasnt all over my uterus, or so i
think. I had a pelvic and rectum exam last week and it was SO painful!!
I'll pray for your to be able to make the decision that you feel is best
for you!! Im only 24 but iv also thought about a hyst, but i know im
young ( i have a 7yr old daughter) and that a hyst wont make endo go
away. So for now il have to deal w/the pain and the doctors! LOL Take
Care, Steph :)
