Psa is back
Well I made it to 27 months of upsa testing after my surgery and went from <0.01 to my first detectable of 0.01. Don’t know what this means but I guess the next few upsa tests will be telling. Maybe a lab variation maybe not.

Waiting for laparascopic Hysterectomy but struggling with womb and bowel symptoms
Hello everyone, I hopefully have a date next month for a laparoscopic Hysterectomy - waiting for confirmation in writing. Have been waiting for nearly 2 years on NHS. I am age 40, living in Scotland. I had none of these Gynae issues until about 3 years ago. Since then, I have had heavy bleeding, cramps

thyroid and high blood pressure
Hi all So have been struggling to get a GP appointment to discuss my Thyroid meds. After MUCH sulking from me my medication was reduced to 75mcg from 100. Although I managed to hold out for 100 whilst I was on holiday- feel not so good so have been trying to get my meds reinstated. This since end

Should one asymptomatic and isolated AF episode be medicated?
Hi Forum. At my pre op assessment (for hip surgery) last Monday the ECG showed AF. No symptoms at all, I walk my dogs +/- 4 miles daily. My BP machine shows normal resting heart rate and BP. So on strength of one ECG my GP has prescribed anticoagulant tabs which I know is for the AF risk of clotting.

treatment without surgery
hi, I’m new on here. First sorry to read and see what you are all going through, you are all very strong and brave. It’s my mum that has ovarian cancer stage 4, had 6 rounds of chemo then surgery - however the surgeon couldn’t operate as there was too much cancer to remove. My question is, has anyone

Should I be worried about this pain after laparoscopy?
hi all, I had a laparoscopy in the middle of January with an endo and adenomyosis diagnosis and excision as well as insertion of the mirena coil. For the past two weeks or so I’ve been getting really intense pelvic pains. It seems to come in waves almost like cramps but is really painful around the

Worth seeing NHS gynaecologist after private surgery?
Hello, I still feel quite new to understanding endo and been fortunate to have had a short journey so far although I don’t know what to expect for the future. I started having really painful periods around the start of 2023 (was previously on the pill since my teens) and had already been suffering with

Contrast dye allergy vs keyhole surgery.
Has anyone here managed to have successful keyhole heart surgery, despite being unable to have contrast dye for CT scan? Were their surgical team able to obtain clear imagery despite this issue? If so, are you willing to share how they did please?

DOAC - changes
Some time ago, I started Rivaroxaban but stopped due to side effects. Was switched to Apixaban but had more (different) side effects from that. My GP was very helpful and suggested Edoxaban. It appears that the choice of DOAC is as much random rather than individually considered for the patient! At

Out of interest......what were you initially (mis)diagnosed with?
I'm just wondering what people were initially misdiagnosed with? When I was at my most unwell my GP at the time wanted to diagnose me with Fibromyalgia. I was adamant it wasn't that, and would not accept that diagnosis. Another GP at the surgery was talking about going down the MS route. That was until

Hi the next installment, I got admitted as planned and the operation went well, the surgeon had to change from keyhole to open surgery as something wasn't quite right so it took a bit longer than expected about 4hrs 30. Woke up in HDU feeling like a double decker bus had run over and to be honest I am

spacer woes! How to get the optimum dose through them?
firstly I should say that I get a sore throat REALLY easily and in the past using my spacer for a full month has led to some horrible throat infections. So I decided to keep it clean and I was working a system of two spacers, washing one, using the clean one for a week, then washing the reserve one

A Win for the NHS - today at least & Questions for you
Today I had to ring GP for chest infection which has curtailed my activities for the past week and shows no sign of improving.

Bowel Prep/Pre Op
Hope everyone is doing ok. Grateful for the advice I've received so far on here thank you all. I have my first lap in 3 weeks time. Excision, removal of cysts, bowel shave as colon stuck to uterus. Sounds wonderful 🙄 my pre op appointment is only 3 days before surgery is this normal? Should I not be
