my eye. I too had an endometrioma last April. Mine was found by a vaginal sono after seeing my gyn for spotting and rectal bleeding. He sent me to have a vag. sono. I am 42 and beings I had never had prior ovarian prob. he did a lap to make sure it indeed was an endometrioma and not something else. He did tell me that if it couldn't be removed or was something else that he would have to remove my ovary. Thank goodness I kept my ovary, but he found stage 4 endometriosis. I have back pain, cramps, bloating, etc. Funny though I have a high pain tolerance, I guess. Best of luck and write me. kc >Hello
>I wonder if you could put my mind at rest while I am waiting to see a gynaecologist. I went for an ultrasound scan but ended up having a transvaginal ultrasound. The lady said she had found an endometrioma on my left ovary but i cannot remember what size she said. I am 33 years of age and i have no children yet but I really do want them. I am now panicking in between time wondering whether this makes me infertile because I have read it comes from endometriosis.
>I have had backache, nausea, painful periods,terrible bloating everyday, diarrohea and constipation, what feels like continuous water infections, and this has gone on for a very long time with doctors fobbing me off with its IBS.
>The bowel problems have really caused me to lose my social life and give up university through the travelling. The doctor said that the endometrioma is pressing on my bowel. I frequently want to urinate and I always seem to have a lot of painfull wind.
>When I was 19 I had a cyst on my right ovary according to my medical notes but was told it would go on its own. I have always felt pain on my left side and now it has spread to the middle and in other parts of my stomach.
>Is there any advice or comfort you could give me to put my mind at rest, for I do want children so much and i would be devastated if i couldnt have any.

>Many Thanks
