Possible Endometriosis?!
Question: Possible Endometriosis!?
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 3 years!. I am 21 and have very irregular periods and PCOS!. I sometimes go 4 or 5 months with out having a period!. For the last couple months I have gotten a period every month!. I am not on any kind of medication for the PCOS to regulate me because my DR says that I am young and she wants to make sure we do the best thing for me!. I dont think my age really matters but anyways!. For the last couple months when I have gotten my period I have had these horrible cramps!. They are so bad that I cant walk or move!. All I can do is lay in bed and cry!. I have had tons of pelvic and vaginal sonograms!. Wouldnt this show up on the scan!? My last vaginal sonogram was in June and she said that everything was fine and that I was actually ovulating when I went!. Is that a sign off endometroisis!? I'm very worried and starting to think that maybe I cant have kids!. My husband has had his sperm count checked and everything is fine!. So the problem is with me =[ !. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It sounds like you could very well have endo based on your symptoms!. However, you cannot know for sure until you have a laparoscopy done!.
I was suffering the same symptoms as you are describing throughout my entire cycle, although my periods were so intense and painful that I could hardly get out of bed!. I have had very heavy bleeding and also the pain that feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife around my ovaries!. I also experience pain with intercourse, pain with urination, pain with bowel movements, had lower back pain and fatigue!.
I had many tests done, which included ultrasounds, CT-scan, blood tests, swabs, papsmears, X-rays etc, for months (almost a year) and all of those tests came back "normal" and didn't show anything!. I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis last year when I had a laparoscopy done!.
If you do in fact have endo then your best medicine is research!. You have to be well informed and be proactive in your treatment process!. I have done a lot of research over the past few months and have talked to many women who were told they "may" have endo or that they do have endo!.
Until you have the laparoscopy done and your gyno says for sure that you do have endo, don't get too concerned yet and don't drive yourself crazy worrying about it!. You could have another gynaecological problem all together, which could be the PCOS or something else that is far more treatable like an ovarian cyst as ovarian cysts can sometimes be missed even with ultrasound, especially if a sonography technician is not experienced enough to know about ovarian cysts and sometimes ovarian cysts can
