Is it all in my head?From: MissD (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Jan 28 19:07:05 2008
Is it typical for the gynocologist to find nothing indicating endometriosis during the pelvic exam and ultra sound, but the person could have endometriosis causing all sorts of problems? I have cysts on my ovaries that have ruptured several times over the past few years making me very sick. It is terribly painful and it makes me sick for several weeks. But then there is the every month problems, feeling like I have the flu before my period, intense bloating, bad cramping and painful intercourse which sounds so much like the stories that I have read here. I am going in for a laproscopy in a few weeks and after the pelvic exam today, I started to feel like it was all in my head again! He said that cysts are typical and part of the cycle. I know this is true but do they normally rupture and feel like labor pains? I have a family history of endometriosis though, and so he suggested laproscopy just to see. I have been dealing with this pain and feeling sick every 28 days for so long with the past 10 years getting progressively worse. The doctors have never been able to figure out what it is because I get frustrated and think I should just "deal with it." I have three weeks to sit and wonder if I am just a hypochondriac. Has anyone ever been in this position? I would love to hear that I am not alone.
