How long can a woman have endometriosis before she gets diagnosed?

Posted by wellness in Endometriosis on May 3, 2009

Is it possible for a woman to have endometriosis for a number of years before having it diagnosed? If so, will that interfer with child birth ( premature birth and miscarriages) and does it cause discharge and excessive clotting while having your cycle?

What are options for treatment of endometriosis other than birth control or surgery?

Posted by wellness in Endometriosis on April 24, 2009

I have already been on birth control for 9 years, and I can’t afford a laparoscopy because I have crappy insurance. Are there any other treatment methods for endometriosis?

Hydrotherma Ablation – Help for Heavy Bleeding?

Posted by wellness in Endometriosis on April 17, 2009

I have been doing some research today on Hydrotherma ablation.(after canceling my hysterectomy yesterday….due to complications and being scared to death) It seems that it is only helpful for heavy bleeding. I don’t have heavy bleeding just very painful. I have endo and possibly adenomyosis. The dr also told me that it would not help for the pain. My thought on this is if I don’t have periods anymore then I won’t have nearly the pain anymore…Right?? I am confused as to why it would not help with the pain. If you don’t have a period anymore then I would think that the endo would not act up during your period time??? Am I right about that or would the hormones still cause the endo to act up??

Is there any other treatments that are effective against endo??? I know about many of the medicines and have tried most of them. I was also thinking about an IUD. Has anyone had success with that??

Any other suggestions would be helpful…. Thanks.
