Endometriosis And Fibroids
when your Ob has done tests such as Trans-Vagina Sonogram or just a simple abdominal ultrasound...?
and found no case of endometriosis or fibroids or whatsoever, does it mean your eally don't have them?
I mean, don;t they require another specific diagnosis for that?
I was diagnosed PCOS, is it all i got?
endometriosis may be detected by the thickness of the lining of your uterus right?so, if it is in the range of proper thickness, does it follow you don't have endometriosis?
My OB said the only real way to diagnose endometriosis is to do laparascopic surgery. I've thought I've had it my whole adult life because of heavy, irregular, painful periods. But when I had laparoscopic surgery to remove a large ovarian cyst, there was zero sign of endometriosis.
I'd trust a sonogram to detect ovarian cysts and fibroids but I think endo is much trickier to spot.
EDIT: Endometriosis is basically uterine lining tissue that grows outside your uterus. So when its your time of the month and your uterine lining starts breaking down and shedding, the endometrial tissue thats in your abdomen in random places starts doing the same and there is nowhere for that blood to go, thus the discomfort. Not a doctor, but that's what I've always understood endometriosis to be so a normal thickness uterine lining doesn't necessarily rule it out. It would probably indicate no fibroids. Good luck!
Trans Fats are linked to Endometriosis, PCOS, Fibroids and Weight Gain
Dietary choices have a direct impact on your reproductive health and subsequently on your fertility. The type of fat you incorporate in your diet may be a risk factor for disorders such as Endometriosis, Fibroids, PCOS and Fibroids.
A diet rich in tuna, salmon and other foods rich in essential omega -3 oils might mean you will be less likely to develop female reproductive disorders. US researchers have reported there is a strong link between diets loaded with trans fats, and female reproductive disorders such as Endometriosis, Fibroids and PCOS.

So what are Trans Fats?
Trans fats are formed when liquid fats are hardened to make something more resembling butter or lard and found in common everyday foods such as processed breakfast cereals and pre-packaged foods.
The type of fat in your diet, rather than the total amount, may be a risk factor for female reproductive disorders according to researchers in a study published online in the journal Human Reproduction.
Within this study of more than 70,000 nurses it was found that women who ate the most omega-3 fatty acids were 22 per cent less likely to be diagnosed with female reproductive disorders such as endometriosis than women who ate the least.
According to Dr. Stacey Missmer of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston who led the study, trans fats increase the body's level of many inflammatory markers. These inflammatory markers have been shown to be associated with the establishment of endometriosis and its progression. Dr Missmer also found that there is a likely increase in risk because of a chronic inflammatory response to the trans fat.
The researchers looked at the diets of 70,709 women followed for 12 years in the US Nurses Health Study. Women who ate the most trans fats had a 48 per cent increased risk of the condition compared with those who ate the least, the study found. Similar studies have been linked to PCOS and Fibroids.
"Many women have been searching for something they can actually do for themselves, or their daughters to reduce the risk of developing the disease, and these findings suggest that dietary changes are something they can do," says Missmer.
