Possible Endo And Possible Hysterectomy Posted: 11-17-04 13:38pm
I have been looking through the posts and
now found help to my situation I am facing
a laparoscopy with the possibility of a
hysterectomy. I have finally come to this
decision after one ful year of sleepless
nights and pain in my hip area mostly
left.. Cramps most days. Pain with
intercourse. When I turn over at night it
hurts like crazy then after I get up and
walk around or p it feels fine... All day
. I have had mri, x rays, unltrasound
and I do have smal fibroids too .... It
is worse around my cycle and since I had
endo 20 years ago with no reoccurance I am
wondering if this could be the problem...
I also have been having clots , heavy
bleeding and shorter cycles and my gyno
said a year ago I was a condidate for
hysterectomy. I have been afraid to do
anything... Not wnat ing surgery .. And
hearing bad storeis about hysterectomies
.. Please those with good experieneces
ceom out of the wood work .... Has anyone
her had a hysterectomy by laparoscopy ? I
hear the recovery time is much less.. Do
you have to go on hormones afte a
hysterectomy? I have only one ovary now
lost the other one to endo 20 years ago
and I am 48 now. I really need some help
in deciding this one janice

Hello it sounds like endometriosis but if
you don't want to get a hysterectomy try
considering a lupron depot shots it's a
shot you can get monthly or every three
months it helps with the bleeding and the
pain or you cand get a surgery where the
cut the nerves in your lower abdomen so
you do not feel pain and you don't.
