Scoliosis and Gynecological Problems

January 30, 2008

I am new here. My daughter has scoliosis on the lower part of her

spine.

It really hasn't bothered her in the past but for the past year it has

been causing a lot of discomfort for her. Her pediatrician told us not

to worry too much about it. She just turned 19 years old 3 days ago.

Two questions I have is: can scoliosis of the lumbar cause pain that

is similar to having gynecological problems? Can scoliosis actually

cause pain in the ovary area from pushing on them? My daughter has

extreme pain and we thought it was due to having cysts on her ovaries.

So far, all the extensive tests performed has proved that there is

actually nothing out of the ordinary.

Thank you for all your help and I do apologize for my ignorance in

this matter. As I said, this is so new to me and I don't know where

to begin.

I'm interested in this too, I'm also the mother of a 19 y.o. (fused T2 to T12 in

2003) who is having gynecological issues - her gyno has tried a variety of pills

but can't get her cycle regulated. She's miserable every month.I thought I

remembered someone recently posting that they knew of research showing a

correlation between scoliosis and unstable hormone levels. I'd appreciate any

information anyone can share on this topic - especially, whether the scoliosis

and hormones could both be part of a syndrome.
