Hi I'm m new to the group and looking to see if anyone has had the same problems. I had 1 injection in april this year and had severe joint pains, hot sweats, night sweats, lack of sleep.

This is my first post. I've been on Decapeptyl ( and HRT) since March and have been really tired- like no amount of sleep is enough.

Hi everyone I have had my second injection of Prostap yesterday in my abdomen. I have swelling and redness at the injection site the size of a tennis ball! It is killing me. Has anyone else has this experience? I did have it with my first but it is more severe now. Thanks

I have gone 15 yrs to get a diagnosis!! Had abalation last yr and locum surgeon didn't help matters at all by "nicking a ligament". Finally got 2nd opinion and now on prostap injections with HRT tabs - if these work its hysterectomy next yr and find out what the last surgeon done wrong!! Anyways.....

Hi, new here and the boyfriend of a long-term endometriosis sufferer. My partner was prescribed Prostap for over six years and developed really bad memory problems and anxiety/depression while on it.

Hi ladies, Ok so this whole thrush thing is ridiculous!! Literally finished antibiotics a week ago and it's back 😢 Now along with the same pains I was experiencing before prostap. I've been pain free for 2.5 months so is the prostap wearing off as only 3 month injection?? Any help or advice you'd

Hi ladies, I'm on a 3 month injection of prostap ( 2 months in) and have put on about 5lbs even though exercising and healthy eating. Has anyone else experienced this and have any advice?
