When is surgery necessary?
For the last few years I've had very heavy periods - annoying, but manageable. For the last 12 months I've had really bad bloating in my stomach on and off - annoying, but manageable. For most of last year I had an on/off dull ache near my left ovary - annoying but manageable. Since November the dull

Nervous to change medication
Following a STEMI Heart Attack I have a LVEF 30 %. I read about Entresto helping increase the EF and asked about the drug at Cardio Rehab. The nurse has just advised me that I am suitable to try it to see whether it helps my Heart Failure and now I don't know what to do... I am on a waiting list to have

Stem Cell Therapy for Cardiomyopathy
My husband has cardiomyopathy with a fib, has ICD and now his EP cardiologist suggesting AV node ablation. But we just found out about stem cell therapy for Cardiomyopathy. Has any one heard about that, has any experience on this subject ?

Mirena or endo pain?
Hi all, I had my laparoscopy in December 2020 to remove endo. During the op I had the mirena coil inserted. Now 14 months later, I’m still having pain most days. I finally have a gyno appt coming up in a few weeks and I think they’re going to suggest having my coil taken out, which feels like a really

I'm new here
Hi everyone, I'm so glad I came across this page as I feel reassured and more educated already. I went on the pill at 15, to stop my extremely heavy and painful periods and since then everything was fine - periods were regular, a normal amount of pain etc. A year ago, at 22, I decided I no longer wanted

Contraceptive Coil
Hi, I have stage 4 endometriosis and It has been suggested that I have the coil fitted. I have heard nothing but bad things about having a coil. I was wondering if anyone else has any opinions on if a coil is bad or ok?

Onto IVF... What did you wish you knew/did before starting?
Hi all, Had a negative HPT this morning following our second IUI (I expected it but still 💔). Our clinic wants to move us onto IVF next. It feels mad, I'm 30 and in theory 'only' have PCOS - when we started treatment in January 2021 we were told we'd only need a little bit of help (Clomid) and now

How to say I’ve got an ICD in my chest in different languages.
I’ll flash my card from the hospital but I was curious what other countries do for ICDs? I’m going over to Malaga for a few days so in Spanish I need to say (airport scanners etc); Tengo un DCI en mi pecho Which other countries have you had to explain your situation? What did you say?

Hello everyone, I am hoping for a bit of help/advice on behalf of my 19-year old daughter, who, after having a laperascopy a year ago to drain her ovarian cysts, has been told they are filling up again.

CRT-D or ICD
My husband had a pacemaker fitted on Wednesday this week. Came home last night with discharge papers on which it says a CRT-D was fitted yet on his GP records I see it says ICD was fitted. I’m rather concerned these statements are conflicting. Any ideas anyone please?

Could this be bowel endo?
Hi all I had a laparoscopy in October and I told them beforehand that I felt like I had bowel endo, as I often bled from my back passage during my period as well as diarrhoea. They informed me that they would check the surface but wouldn’t check inside. So I had the surgery and they found endo but she
