How to confirm I have endometriosis?

Sproutedmoongdaal profile image

I have a cyst in my both ovaries. After a number of tests including CA 125 and series of Ultrasound and antibiotics, the doctors diagnosed that I have endometriosis and straight away suggested that I should go for surgery and get my both ovaries removed for which I am not ready at all.

Also I am really confused that do I really have endometriosis? Because all the symptoms I have read till now, I feel that I only fall in one symptoms and that is irregular periods. Even my periods are becoming much better now in terms of consistency but other than that I do not have any other symptoms like pain, bloating or period pains etc. So I am really confused that do I really have endometriosis?

Sorry I did not get it that what sort of cyst? I saw when I was taking antibiotics they got reduced as when I left it, it started increasing. Also cyst in right Overy is 2.4 cm and cyst in left Overy is 6.9 cm. This is the first cycle that I am trying all natural ways.

Hi hun as I’m sure you may have read how difficult it can be to be diagnosed with endo, however (although I’m no doctor) in this case it sounds like they’re jumping the gun a little… if it doesn’t sit right with u, go with ur gut. Get a second opinion, ask for a laparoscopy or some form of investigative tests to get more of an informed diagnosis. I’m not sure of your age or if you’ve had or even want a family but it’s your body and u have every right to know more before making a huge decision like that. I hope this helps even if it’s just a little x

Thank you so much for your response. I am 40 years old and yes do not want family right now. Yes I'll go for a second opinion though
