Hey thanks for the reply.
yes I also have endo, well rectoendo and adeo. 5cm nodule attached to my womb and bowel. But it’s in an inoperable position as it’s grown into my sphincter and if that’s touched will cause permanent damage and need a stoma so been referred to a specialist down south as she is willing to do total hysterectomy and partial removal of the nodule.
But being completely honest, I’m just so scared of how I’ll be taking away my natural hormones, and what effects this could have on me long term. Gyne is telling me to take the prostrap with tibolone to ease symptoms, but I’m just so scared of that to. I’ve suffered from poor mental health in the past, I’m doing good now, but the thought of anything ricking me again is what’s stopping me from taking it. To go into the full menopause at 37 (I know this happens earlier to others in all forms) just not sure if there is anything else I can do. Or am just delaying the inevitable.
symptoms are permanent deep pelvic and lower back pain. And then on average I have 3/4 weeks what feels like the early stages of labour pains added in. Irritated, can sit still as pain is worse, can walk to far. Severe bloating. Can’t poop properly. Hurts after I wee. Brain fog. Low iron, no b12 (been given jabs and supplements). Lethargic etc.
I have changed my diet, took out all gluten and diary as advised by someone. This has helped a little.
my next consultation is in October with the referred specialist. Thought I’d get the marina coil in the mean time but still not sure how much that will help.
Hope you’re doing ok. Are you going for any surgery? Xx
