Prostap Question

Hello ladies,

I had my first prostap injection 2 weeks ago, did anyone else suffer with an upset tummy a lot? I suffer with bloating from the endo but it's been pretty bad the past week along with horrible pains in my stomach and it's really getting me down. I was wondering if anyone else had this and found anything that helped? I've tried peppermint tea/cutting out foods xxx

Hi.I had my first 3 month injection 2 weeks ago and have had terrible hip pain and bloating plus very sore lips inside and mouth. The bloating has subsided a little today so hoping things get better as I'm going on holiday in just over 2 weeks time 😯..

It seems quite common and I was told to give it 3 weeks but it's hard to sit and wait when it at first gives you so much trouble lol. Should all be worth it for all of us soon :) xx

That makes sense as it has been pretty bad and constant. I was told I had endometriosis near the bowel/in the ouch of Douglas and it wasn't touched as they said it wS too risky?!

I had some burned away in April, from behind the ovaries, womb and uterus. The surgeon couldn't comment on anywhere else as he said if it was deeper he wouldn't of seen it...

Hi

I went to see the gyni today as I had an MRI and was told that I have endemetrosis in my uterus - she said I can't have hysterectomy until I try this injection called decapeptyl which I had my first today the gyni didn't explai. Much about it to me so I have come home

Read up on all the reviews of people's comments and now wish I hadn't had it - hair loss mood swings - sleepless nights - etc - I am meant to be having another one in 4 weeks don't think I will - please let me know when this will start working and when it will wear off and I am back to normal - thank for advice

Sorry to jump in, I was told I have endo in my uterus, so is that not possible? It wasn't a very good gynaecologist

Great info. Thank you for that. It seems we learn more about the condition on here than through the professionals x

Is ademonoysis atill as painful the gyni is saying I may need a full hysterectomy - the pains I get a breath taking like I am in labour - I am having a colonoscopy next Monday as they want to check my bowel as they found abnormalities in my stool can this all be connected - my gyni I saw a week ago wasn't great just couldn't wait to finish me for her next appointment .

Thank you
