Endometriosis Specialists

Hello everyone! So my endo seems to be getting worse and I am thinking of surgery now, since the last time I went to Gynachologist he said that if I want to try to get pregnant in the next 3 years it is not advised. I still think is strange because I do not plan to get pregnant for at least another year, he advised me not to last year...

Anyways, I have moved to Croydon and there is an Endometriosis centre here (the Croydon University Hospital Endometriosis Centre), has anyone been there? What do you think about the centre? Last time I went to the gynaecologist I had to cj=hange because my previous one retired. The new one was...somewhat rude and seemed to be in a hurry to get rid of me since I said I did not want surgery.

What are you experience with contraceptive pills? My stage is pretty advanced, I have chocolate cysts on both ovaries and endometrioma, I have gained a lot of weight since the endometriomas and can't lose the weight. On top of all the pain, discomfort, etc my usual supplements don't seem to work anymore, nor a healthy diet. I don't know if it is thyroid as well...oh and there are all the horrible mood swings. In one single day, I go from super angry to crying of sadness... I am a bit tired of all this and just want it to stop.

I didn’t find birth control was enough for my condition which sounds similar to yours. I started taking visanne which hasn’t completely taken away my pain, but has helped quite a bit. It is a progestin. I did end up getting surgery for my condition so we’ll see how I start feeling.
