✨I KNOW THIS IS A LOT SO I APOLOGIZE!!!✨
Just wanting reassurance or help to ease my mind throughout this process of getting a diagnosis or a step in the right direction to one.
-I’ve been experiencing off and on pain for the last 3.5 years. I’ve tried many different birth controls; IUD (3 times), the bar, and now I’m on a dual pill. The pill seems to be ok so far but have been told I should get on the Depo if we think it’s endometriosis. I’ll list my symptoms below/history.
-Did anyone else feel this anxious before their diagnostic laparoscopy? I have deep feeling of anxiety that they won’t find anything and that I’m not being seen by a specialist (he has reiterated to me he is and he goes to Chicago to present findings/events etc etc.)
-Also looking into what should I get for post op? He said if he finds anything he will remove it that day so not sure what to even expect!!!
✨SIDE NOTE: HAVE GONE DOWN THE GI PATH, many tests, scope, medications nothing has helped.
Symptoms/DX include; 22Y F
-High tone pelvic floor
-Retroverted uterus - zero notes or have been told I have this besides a month ago with the surgeon. Not noted on any scans/exams, etc.
-Mom has endometriosis, full hysterectomy by age 24
-Pain with s$x; includes swelling & bleeding
-Fullness in my lower pelvic region OR feeling very tight in my muscles
-Sharp pains that feel almost like contractions, last for 40 seconds (for example) and then go away then come back after a minute or so.
-Shock pains in my v@gina
-Sometimes pain with bowel movements/post bathroom
-History of cysts
-History of bleeding sometimes for 45+ days
-Dark brown di$charge
-Many hospitals visits for pain that caused vomiting sometimes. Was told it was gastritis not sure if it’s accurate or just because all my test ma came back fine.
Other things were are trying to figure out;
-Flushing/hives mainly during “ovulation week” but I am on BC.
-High BPM then drops 50+ when laying down, same for standing up goes up 30-50 BPM.
I KNOW YALL ARENT DOCTORS!!!
