Help! Don't Know If This Is the Proper Forum...
Posted: 08-22-07 16:54pm

I had a total hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy 5 years ago, due to severe endometriosis. I was 30 at the time. They removed everything but my appendix. No real problems since then (at least with that). I'm not on hormones and haven't ever been.

The last 3 months I've been going to Curves gym and doing their "6 Week Solution" nutrition plan. I've been on a high-protein, 1600 calories per day program for almost 6 weeks now. I've responded really well, lost weight and body mass and inches.

Today I woke up and after urinating realised there was a large amount of blood in the toilet. I went to the bathroom at lunch to find blood again, on my underwear and after I urinated. I realised I'm also cramping.

I immediately went to my doctor and she suggested that because of my new exercise and diet regimen, my hormones from other glands are now ramped up and I'm sloughing off excess endometrial tissue that was left over (this is possible, as my surgeon said I was riddled with the stuff everywhere). She doesn't think there's any cause for concern, but she's referring me to a gyno anyway.

Anybody else experiencing this? Is my doc on the right track? Any ideas or advice is really welcome.
