Lipedema and Endometriosis
Hi everyone, I (31) got diagnosed with stage 1 lipedema about 2 months ago and just started with conservative treatments (MLD, compression, nutrition, exercise etc.), however i was also diagnosed with endometriosis a few years ago and have been taking the pill (slinda, no estrogen just 4 mg Drospirenone). The pill has helped me a lot with my endo symptoms and my gynecologist said that it could help maintain some of my fertility if i plan on having children later. My doctor said that i should think about stop taking the pill, as it can worsen the lipedema. i havent talked to my gynecologist yet, but i have an appointment soon. Has anyone had a similar issue? I do want to continue treating my endometriosis but I’m afraid it will worsen my lipedema.
