Dear all,
I was in hospital in the summer with severe pain - never had problems until this year. I have a endomeyrioma on left ovary. They offered a laparoscopy straight away, or, I wait several weeks where they could be prepared better and get the cyst out, and also put coil in. I said yes waiting for a few weeks to have just one op. They postponed this Op a week before in Sept saying they wanted me to meet the surgeon first. This was scheduled for Nov. When I went to this appt I saw a different Gynae who said they would leave operating and I should try coil for 6 months first. (Despite that month bring in A&E again in so much pain). I feel so angry as I took this year out from doing MSc. To have the op they said they would do, I couldn’t work with this pain and it led to a breakdown in my mh since seeing this Gynae. I don’t tolerate pain killers as I vomit and also gives me anxiety. I have decided to go private next month to get away from the nhs system as I now feel so anxious regarding their advice as nothing is consistent and they don’t follow through with what they say at all and feel I have been left to pick up the pieces of my broken mh because of it. I am grateful to be able to afford to go private and recognise many can’t and I am lucky. However for those that can’t afford to - how is their delay and refusal to operate ok with women who want children?
