Emergency admission for partially ruptured endometrioma

[Charliebrown64]

I was rushed into hospital with awful pelvic pain , infection markers,inflammation and signs of sepsis last week. After, many days of hum-ha-ing, an emergency laparoscopy found a fist sized, partially ruptured endometrioma. The ovary had fused to my bowel and pelvis and so it could not be removed. It was drained and my pelvis washed out. Consultant is recommending hysterectomy, removing the uterus, cervix, tubes and ovaries (they found fibroids as well). He mentioned prostrap injection to shut down estrogen production in the meantime. I’m feeling a bit flooded by all this new info (I knew I had heavy and painful periods but just ‘lived with it’. Now so many other symptoms and this make so much sense!).

can anyone talk me through what prostrap is like? My GP seemed to think it was quite an e treme measure today, but I equally don’t want endometrial tissue spreading, growing, bleeding and sticking more together!

can anyone help a newbie to this? I’m a bit overwhelmed as to what the best next steps are! Thankfully, I have two beautiful children and my family is complete so I don’t need to consider fertility. However, I do have concerns about the risks of an early menopause. I’m 44.

many thanks to anyone who can give advice Xx
