I AM A 27 YR OLD FEMALE, WHOSE MOTHER AND AUNT HAVE A HISTORY OF ENDOMETRIOSIS. I STARTED HAVING PAIN AFTER THE BIRTH OF MY SON 6-7 YRS AGO. BASED ON ALL THE FAMILY HISTORY AND SYMPTOMS, IT WAS MY DOCTOR'S CONCLUSION THAT I HAD ENDO TOO. I HAD ANOTHER SON ABOUT 3 YRS AGO AND REMAINED SYMPTOM FREE FOR ALMOST A YEAR AFTER HIS BIRTH. HOWEVER THE PAIN CAME BACK AND DURING A YEARLY EXAM MY OB/GYN FOUND A CYST ON MY LEFT OVARY. I WENT ON DIFFERENT BIRTH CONTROL PILLS AND WENT THROUGH 3 ULTRASOUNDS. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT NOTHING HAD CHANGED AND A NEW CYST WAS FOUND ON MY RIGHT OVARY NOW. MY DOCTOR WANTS TO DO LAPRASCOPY AND TAKE A " LOOK " AROUND AND THEN IF INDEED IT IS ENDO, POSSIBLY PUT ME ON LUPRON. MY MAJORITY CHIEF COMPLAINT OF PAIN NOW IS DURING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WHICH HAS INCREASED DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I NEVER HAD PAIN WITH THAT BEFORE. USUALLY IT WAS JUST PAINFUL MENSTRATION OR OVULATION. COULD THAT BE A RESULT OF THE CYSTS? I AM REAL HESITANT OF LUPRON. COULD YOU GIVE ANY WORD OF ADVICE? I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF SURGERY BEFORE AND AM VERY SCARED. CAN'T THEY JUST REMOVE THE CYST ONCE THEY'RE IN THERE? AND IS THIS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE? THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME. MELISSA
