Hormone imbalance
hey, I’ve been suffering with endo for years and have had a few laparoscopies which helped and had a coil inserted which helped but I had removed 2.5 years afterwards due to suspected weight gain! A year on from having coil removed and endo has reared its ugly head and I have been in pain, had periods

Is hysterectomy my only option?
I was told 12 months ago that I have abcess near ovary and uterus, possibly due to previous infected copper coil. Have had repeated episodes of pelvic pain, hospitalisation, antibiotic treatment. Doctor has now mentioned hysterectomy. I'm waiting for a recent CT scan. Doctor has not mentioned drainage

mirena coil and migraines
I got the mirena coil two weeks ago. Had constant bleeding, cramps / contracting near the coil. On and off headaches. Now I have the worst migraine. Feels like constant pms symptoms. I know it can take 6 months to settle but not sure I can cope with the headaches. Long did you wait for it to settle

where do I go from here…
Hi all, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis in 2016 and underwent excision surgery. After surgery I still struggled with pain however went on to try and start a family. We have been incredibly fortunate and have 3 children (this wasn’t without loss). My periods always returned very quickly

Could I have Endometriosis?
Hi, I was diagnosed with PCOS at 21 after years of horrific periods. I had the mirena coil fitted for 6 years. No periods, but did get random crippling pains throughout the month and spotting. Had the coil removed July 2022. For the first 6 months my periods were perfect. On time, one/two days of bleeding

wtf is this
I’m in so much pain these days and waiting to see the GI doctor to have a colonoscopy and a endoscopy done at the same time . Unfortunately Kaiser is such an amazing hospital that I can’t be seen till mid march since they have to make a bigger time slot for me to have both procedures at once. So he is

New diagnosis and bad clinic experience
Hi all. After battling through symptoms for years, being dismissed, being referred to every which specialty, I asked for a gynae referral and had an MRI. The consultant unsympathetically told me I have adhesions, my uterus has moved, and an ovary is squished and attached to my colon. So she's recommended

A bit late for me but...
A bit late for me as I am a woman who has just passed her 60 years milestone, but I wanted to share my experience anyway. I dont think it will be news to people on this forum though, so not sure if should be sharing it here. I had painful periods from day one and regularly ended up in Nurses room

Endo/Adeno Rant .... Exhausted!! Microgynon 30?
Hey Ladies, I guess this is just a rant for me to maintain sanity and clarity that im not the only one feeling crap with this condition. I've avoided the "recommended treatment" of Decapeptyl injections (put you through early menopause), the IUD, the pill and of course the glamourous hysterectomy

Mirena coil and urge incontinence - help!
I had a Mirena coil put in 2 years ago due to PCOS and irregular periods. From the last 3 months (Oct 2023), every time I'm on my period I have had a few minor leaks, sometimes its just a drop or two. I literally have to make a quick dash to the loo to make it just in time. This can last up to 2 days
