[nisbanisa786]

Hi guysI had my 1st gyne appointment yesterday and she was no help at all she was offering me contraception pills not asking me if I suffer from headaches due to estrogen tolerance I had to tell her myslf thn sh was gvn Mr progesterone only I said to her ontop of th Coil I have sh goes oh ok u have tht. Very unprofessional n there's me in debilitating pain especially my right side which shoots down my leg she did confirm on my transvaginal scan my right Overy is stuck to the uterus but said we can't do nothng til this procedure is followed so now after 4 months I have to wait to see where actually the endo is n why do I get pmdd pms gastroenteritis headaches when I told her about these pains sh said thts smthn else go to the gp. I feel lost confused tht I did not get any reassurance from her even my gp was relying on this appointment!!!! I went back to her and sh said the same 'thy don't care no more ' I'm very upset because the pain has affected my life it lasts 3weeks n I cnt walk whn its so severe I'm sick n tired jus dont knw wat to do. Do I need a mri? For confirmation of endo or shall I jus wait for my 4 months to b over I thnk thts whn thy will do the camera test

it is very sad, people wait so long for an appointment and when the finally get their appointment it often useless, and not tailored to the individual, they often always prescribe the progesterone only pill, and then leave you on that for over a year at least. We no effort to communicate in between. This is why I also keep going back to the GP, they send me for an ultrasound confirming what we already know. If you have the opportunity to have a pelvic MRI take it, it will offer up more detail. Good luck chick. Xxx

I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this. It's awful that this is the quality of women's health care. My initial appointment with the gynecologist, who was the head consultant, was very similar (mine was 4 years ago). She told me my cysts and possible endometriosis were not the source of my debilitating pain and I probably had a hernia!

Fast forward 4 years and I am due to have my second laparoscopy, ebdo excision, rectal shave and full hysterectomy tomorrow.

Keep fighting for the care you deserve. I complained to the health board, which helped a little.

Hello!

Sorry you are suffering like this. In my experience it’s a complete waste of time seeing regular gynaecologists. They don’t have knowledge or experience when dealing with endometriosis.

You need to speak with a Endo BSGE specialist. If not you will waste a lot of time and it will cause a great deal of anxiety and stress being gas lit or given incorrect information. Go back to your GP and and tell them you want to be referred to a specialist.

Good Luck
