I have already been tested 3 times for Claymidia and gonohorrea. I have
never had either.
What is normal procedure after this kind of outcome is found? Should I
request another laproscopy down the line? Is there a different route I
can ask my doctor about before I agree to go on Lupron?
I was resarching this further, and I found that tubal cancer causes the
same symptoms...should I ask for test in that arena?
