Gonapeptyl treatment and going private? ☺

[mishi24]

Hi everyone, I have been diagnosed today with endometriosis, I have a 10 cm endometrioma on my right ovary that is causing me pain. I have been given a Gonapeptyl injection to bring on the menopause. Has anyone else had this? Not sure what to expect with symptoms!

My lap has been booked for 9th july, which seems a long time to wait! Considering going private to have it moved forward as I'm getting married on the 25th July and emigrating to Thailand on the 4th august!

Anyone on here gone private? Is there any point?

Thanks so much for your reply. You're right, its more about the specialist than whether it's NHS or private. Its so much to take in my head is spinning! Feels amazing to be able to talk about it with people who know exactly how this all feels! I guess I'm just trying to take control of the situation by looking into going private... What a day!

Hi! I had a laparoscopy to drain two large endometriomas on 23rd April (2 weeks ago tomorrow) - I have stuck to doctors orders with a good mix of rest and getting out and about during recovery and am feeling well enough to go back to work on Monday . I was so worried about the op and how I would feel afterwards but it was so worth it as the pain on my right side is so much better now that they are gone. Hope that puts your mind at rest in terms of recovery from your op - good luck with the wedding planning and with your move (sounds amazing!!) 😊

Thanks! I was mega excited, now I'm worried about moving across the world with this condition!
