Dear Dr. Hill Thank you SO MUCH for your prompt reply. You have actually given me hope again. I just have a couple more questions. First of all, how is this diagnosed? I have a very BIG problem with the pelvic exam. In fact the first one they did on me had to be done under general anaesthesia. I don't know why but it's basically impossible to do one on me while I'm conscious, it hurts too much. It is a phobia that has wildly grown over the years. Another thing is that I haven't had a period in almost 6 months, since the laparoscopy in July. Is this something to be concerned about? should I start the pill again? So, i guess what I am asking is where should I go from here, do I need another pelvic exam? I have a colonoscopy schedued for January 21.
