Any idea when I’ll get the surgery is the next question tho! In bloody agony with the trapped air and tummy is very sore but glad

Iron testing - results O.K.?
Just had my iron retested, having done it incorrectly the first time. This time, I stopped taking iron 48 hrs. before and fasted after midnight. I think the results look as though iron's not my problem. Can some more knowledgeable member let me know if that appears to be correct? Thanks! Results

Feeling really annoyed and frustrated today after my gynaecologist appointment. I have been on prostap for 3 months, hasn’t help with the pain and caused hot flashes, weakened bladder and painful joints with swelling on my feet. I was told today nothing else can be done as if that didn’t work for pain

Bowel problems
Hi everyone Just wanted to know if endometriosis and adenomyosis causes anyone else bowel issues. I either have extreme diarrhoea or am constipated at least once or twice a week now. And now also hip and back pain! Is that also part of it. I’ve been formally diagnosed with both for about 15 years

When is surgery necessary?
Both drs I've seen have said I need a
total
hysterectomy
. And they may well be right but I can't help thinking: 4 months ago I was fine. The problem is the cyst. I don't have painful periods. I don't have bowel or bladder problems. I don't need to worry about fertility issues.

Prostap, bleeding and pain
Hi everyone. Hope you’re all ok. Just after a bit of advise. I have been on prostap since October following excision in July, my specialist said I could be on it for 2 years then he would look at a possible hysterectomy. I struggled at first with low mood but patches have helped. In March I went to A

could someone help interpret iron panel labs please
I’m a 66yr old male and about 4 years ago I was feeling tired and lethargic so my wife suggested a thyroid function test. The labs showed that my thyroid gland was indeed beginning to struggle and that my WBCs were showing some anomalies. I was subsequently diagnosed with CLL but since then my thyroid

Some help with interpreting iron panel please.
My mum is supplementing with iron. Crp hs 0.48 (0-5) Iron 29,9 (5.8-34.5) Tibc 62.7 (45-81) Uibc 30.9 (24.2-70.1) Transferrin 47.5 (20-50) Ferritin 298.6 (13-150) It looks as though she should’ve stopped a while back. Any insight with what these numbers are now saying and mean would be helpful

Neutropenia and its effects.....
I was diagnosed with lupus by my rheumatologist in 2020. Since 2016 I have had low iron levels on numerous occasions, which was initially treated with oral iron with little effect. I was eventually given an iron infusion in May 2021. This brought my iron levels up for some time, but in April this

Seeing endo on Monday – question about low TSH/hypothyroidism
Hi all, I’m still working to get an official diagnosis for the complicated mess of adrenal/thyroid/pituitary conditions I’ve been experiencing for the past few years and have a much-awaited appt with my endo on Monday. I get super nervous before any appts for fear of not communicating clearly enough

Light brown pigmentation under jawline only, hypothyroidism issue or something else?
I have had this light brown pigmentation under just my jawline that I developed after having a thyroidectomy in 2016. I had a hysterectomy 17 years earlier and did not have this light brown pigmentation could this be from the thyroidectomy? Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I tried those skin lightening

Another Laparoscopy? Help!
Hey so some of you may know me and my story. For those that don't here's a summary; I'm 37, I've been diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2017 through my diagnostic lap, the specialist performed an excision around my bladder and uterus (stage 4). In 2018 I had a planned further excision of endo from my bowel

Has anyone had HRT implants? Would love to know your experience and where you’ve had them done please
Hi ladies, I’m wanting to have Oestrogen and Testosterone implants as I don’t absorb transdermal HRT. It’s my only option left as I have dreadful menopause symptoms since my hysterectomy. As far as I know they’re not available on the NHS so I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a private clinic/hospital
