What's Happening Now












I never thought something like this could affect my life so much. I just turned 19. It makes me feel like something is wrong with me and honestly, a little worthless. My whole life I've dreamed of having my own family one day. I know I'll be okay, but it's hard dealing with endometriosis when it threatens my life long ideas of happiness and makes me question my worth as a women. I'll most likely never be able to have a surprise pregnancy like some of my older friends. It all seems like it comes so naturally and easily. Will my future relationship struggle because I may not be able to do the one thing that women are created to do? Who wants to be with someone who carries that kind of baggage. Worst of all, the pain reminds me of it everyday. Im not a depressing person, I love life and love being young. But I've cried in the bathroom at my work several times due to pain. I'm embarrassed by it. I don't want anyone to know.
I don't mean to come off as helpless or depressing. But my world has been flipped upside down. I joined this site for advice, help, and support. My family tries to understand my situation but its impossible. I'm very thankful my situation isn't worse. I just need help so I can become as strong as some of the other women who post their experiences as well. Most people my age are having fun partying and living life to the fullest. Being sober at parties comes off as being lame but Im terrified of making my endometriosis worse. I know it can have negative affects and possibly make it worse. But people my age don't understand or even know about endometriosis. And honestly I don't want them to know about something so personal to me that affects my life daily. I'm embarrassed and terrified of my future. Does it get better?View Thread

Have had pelvic exam, ultrasound nothing showed up. My doctor ended sending me to a gyno this week. He told me I was an odd case. But he too is concerned it may be endometriosis. He wants to start me on Lupron shot next week, another shot in 12weeks and to do a follow up exam to see if symptoms have subsided. I'm nervous about taking the Lupron but we'll see what happens. I just want to know what is wrong with me I'm alittle scared. Has anyone had these symptoms or could tell me if we're looking in the wrong direction.
Thanks so muchView Thread

2.Endometriosis is a stubborn disease for its recurrenceEndometriosis lesions can be both focal or diffuse. If it's focal one, then it can be removed by laparoscopic electrosurgical excision treatment and stripping treatment; if it is diffuse one, then the adhesion decomposition technique is necessary. However, for diffuse endometriosis, the lesions are difficult to be completely cut off, so the disease easily relapses after the surgery. According to clinical data, almost 35% to 65% patients have suffered a recurrent endometriosis within 1 to 5 years after the surgery. This recurrence rate is rather high. Therefore, to prevent the high recurrence rate, patients need take extra drugs that can inhibit the growth of residual lesions. For example, patients can take a herbal medicine named fuyan pill.
Fuyan pill treatment:In fact, for patients in mild cases or with fertility requirements, patients can directly take fuyan pill to get a cure.

Endometritis is attributable to infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, or mixtures of normal vaginal bacteria.[br>[br>An abortion is usually a health-related or surgical procedure to electively finish a pregnancy. Abortion is one of the most typical health-related procedures performed inside the United States of America every year. Greater than 40% of all women will finish a pregnancy by abortion at some time in their reproductive lives.
Abortion doesn't lead to endometriosis[br>The dispute, on the other hand, isn't whether elective abortion holds a threat of infection, but rather, to clarify that endometriosis will not be linked to abortion.
