I have always had awful periods, currently 50 next month and under gynae.
Diagnosed with ovarian cysts, adeno and endo. Have pain and flooding, often pain during and bleeding after sex but after having most recent polyp removed bleeding after sex has diminished.
have been offered a hysterectomy (on hrt and they removed mirena as felt was adding to bleeding and do feel better with it gone - currently on Evorel 100 and vaginal Utrogestan for 12 days).
have had 2 urgent suspected cancer referrals due to symptoms (have also had melanoma and bcc too).
for years Id have bitten their hands off being offered a hysterectomy, but for all my recent surgeries (7 skin and one ankle rebuilding) the wounds have dehisced after the stitches came out, currently have a 3cm open hole on my face from latest biopsy.
theyve said they’d try and do it vaginally so minimal stitching but honestly does anyone have any ideas what I might be looking at healing wise? I’m ‘only’ under gynae so no rheumatologist to ask.
or, know if can get NHS referral to an EDS experienced gynae. I’m actually a bit traumatised from all my surgeries as I tell them the wounds won’t hold, they look knowingly at me and tell me they know what they’re doing then act perplexed when I return with seeping holes
