My partner suffers from Ovarian Fibroma ( possible cause of her chronic pelvic pain) and hypothyroidism....

[Tony63]

...the Gynaecological surgeon we saw won't perform a laparoscopy until my partner (who has unstable Hypothyroidism) gets her levels in check.

Meanwhile she can't get her levels in check because we can't find a decent Endocrinologist who could do that. We have seen quite a few endocrinologists already.. Fibroma is probably playing a part in her upset hormone levels. She is in a lot of pain for over 10 months now.

We need to get second gynecological opinion. Is anybody able to recommend any gynecologist/gynecological surgeon anywhere in UK, somebody who can deal with Ovarian fibroma in hypothyroid patient?

PM me please, we are desperate to get help. Internet search for doctors didn't get us far.

She takes Co-codamol regularly ( the only painkiller that she can tolerate, due to NSAID's allergy), however that is not the solution...

Any suggestion are highly appreciated ( We joined Thyroid UK and Ovacare forums already, and still searching...)

Thank you for help

Tony

It sounds as though you have discussed surgery for this. What age is your partner ?

[Tony63 in reply to PPSN_JudyB]

Thank you for your reply Judy. She is 38.

Is she considering laparoscopic cystectomy rather than oophorectomy ?
