Hi everyone, I’d like to know if you’ve had experience where you’ve been put on Prostap for suspected endometriosis/ fibroids and NOT had improvement from it, and subsequently had laproscopy where endometriosis HAS been found?
I’ve been on Prostap (with Tibolone HRT) for 6 months but with limited improvement for abdominal pain. The gynaecologist thinks this rules out any gynaecological issues (seemingly includes endometriosis). I’m sceptical of this opinion but I’m doubting myself.
The gynae has agreed to do laproscopy, but at a cost to do it privately that would put me into debt. It would be worth it if there is a likelihood of it being found, but a total waste of money if I’m barking up the wrong tree. Alternatively I could go on the waiting list to go NHS but likely to be years to wait. And in the meantime my life is falling apart at the seams!
(For background, there are no polyps or adenomyosis ruled out by hysteroscopy, no bowel issues ruled out by colonoscopy, ultrasound and MRI found nothing, and can’t have mirena due to uterus shape. I’m 50 and very peri menopausal!)
