Confused!

[brwnjo8]

Hi,

This is my first post as I have just joined this group. Firstly, thank you for reading if you get to the end!

I am really confused over what to do in my current situation.

I am 40 years old and I was diagnosed 15 years ago and have managed the condition, having treatment to get pregnant, mirena coil, ablations, you name it, I have probably had it!

My last ablation was last September. I ended u going private as I felt like I was going in circles with the NHS (god bless them they are good for lots of other things!)

The consultant could see endo in my cervix just on a routine check up and I had been getting more tired and heavier flow.

I had the ablation and he said whilst it wasn't severe, it was everywhere

All was well and good for two months and then the symptoms came back and gradually back to pain, bad bleeding and tired 6 months after the op.

I have since been on goserelin injections and Livial HRT. I am on the last three monthly injection he will let me have. Life has been brilliant for this past 9 months! I have felt bloody fantastic. This past couple of weeks I have started getting period type pain but no bleeding and feel generally well.

My options in January are:

- see what happens naturally now I have had a bit of time off from it!

- hysterectomy - full

- hysterectomy - part (leave ovaries?)

Because I have been feeling well, I am worried I don't really need a major op - now if you had asked me this time two years ago when it was bad I would have done it in a heartbeat!

Do I risk it and see what happens? knowing it will probably come back with all it's mates!

Or should I have a hysterectomy? And if I leave my ovaries, surely it will still come back? Obvs if it is full then I will have to jump straight into HRT and menopause. I am 40 - is this wise? I worry about risks of cancer etc. (I am a worrier!)

I am blessed with medical insurance and a great gynae consultant but he wants me to make the decision and I don't know what to do?

Can anyone help with their experience?

Thank you!
