Reduce Fibroids
Endometriosis, PMT, Prostap, Livial & Hysterectomy?
HI Everyone, I have diagnosed endometriosis which has bean heat treated (26.03.07). Historically I have suffered very painful and heavy periods that can be in excess of 8 days in length. This can prove to be very debilitating. I also suffer extreme PMS that brings tearfulness, sore breasts, mood changes and extreme fatigue (amongst other symptoms). I also have had small fibroids.
I have been offered a medical menopause with the administration of PROSTAP with add-back therapy with Livial (3 months duration). If this proves successful at reducing my symptoms a complete hysterectomy will be offered. In the main all the patient reviews I have read off the internet tend to illuminate all the negatives with PROSTAP therapy and that it can induce all the symptoms that I am trying to eradicate with the added inconvenience of potential weight gain and hair loss. Anyone have any similar experiences to share and able to offer any advice? Many thanks. Shellie x aged 43
First of all, I am very sorry that you have to go through the pain of endometriosis! I'm only 23 but I got diagnosed with it almost 2 years ago. I went through a laproscopy in September of 2005 to have the lesions lasered off. I was told that it might come back and unfortunately it did. I went to a different OBGYN after that hoping that they would have an alternative solution rather than going through surgery again. He put me on Lupron Depo with the add-back therapy. I was supposed to be on it for 6 months but stopped after 3 months due to the medication causing me to have panic attacks (my doctor couldn't explain why). Even after only 3 months, the symptoms are almost completely gone for now. I think even if you are reading about adverse affects, it's definitely worth a try just to see how your body reacts. Everything might be okay. I would definitely try the medication before considering a complete hysterectomy. I wish you the best of luck with everything!
