I just posted for the first time today aged 35 28 days post lap for endometriosis. I forgot to mention hot flushes OMG they r killing me!! Is this normal I was on prostap 3 for three months pre lap and definitely felt the treatment wearing off after about 8 weeks....anyone else any idea why I'm having these? Cramps are still horrendous today not left my bed x
Hot flushes: I just posted for the first... - Endometriosis UK
Hot flushes
Not good. You should contact the doctor.
The hot flushes are from the prostap. It can take a very long time for the side effects to wear off and some can be permanently. They should disappear eventually though.
Hi Hun, what did they do in your lap? It sounds like you've had a hell of a time.
It might be worth asking for an ultrasound to check placement of coil Incase it's moved. Try and get an emergency appointment or if the pain gets too bad go to a&e don't suffer in silence. You've been through enough already.
Try taking ibrofen I between the co codamol. And for the hot flushes try evening primrose oil. Hope tomorrow is better for you.
Thank you! I had what the nurses said a lot of work done, I had endometriosis everywhere a large ball in the back of my womb proved the trickiest. Also had adhesions and a lot of scar tissue, had appendics taken out during an exploratory lap 7 years ago and there was a large amount of scar tissue build up there too! Bit of a mess inside I believe one tube covered in nodules tbh I'm not 100% clear as i was heavily medicated after op and ended up staying in overnight. Seeing consultant in a fortnight....can't come.quick enough!xx
Thank you so much!
ThThanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome and offering support and advice! Hugs to all my fellow endo survivors xx
The hot flushes are from the hormones in the Prostap.. I totally know how you feel, I'm 21 and feel like I'm going through my menopause with my hot flush moments! They're nothing to worry about - I asked my doctor.. But if it puts your mind at rest, ask next time you're there
I had the same injection, and as mine was wearing off, it's like you're body trying to go back to normal like period pains. Even tho after my 1st injection I didn't have a period until almost 6 months later. And felt as time was getting on the more cramps I was having. Hence why I've asked for a second injection x
