Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hi Shayna just wondering what your gyno said (if you have seen him yet) about the tumours - am interested cause your story is similar to that of my 21yo daughter. last time she saw him he put her on constant birth control to try and minimize the dysmenorrhea. just to recap, she had a " lesion " removed from her womb several months ago after severe daily pain and the pain stopped for a while, however they dont think its endometriosis. it interests me that you thought yours was exacerbating but not causing the dysmenorrhea, as that would fit here. pamela Re: Re: Dr App't My gyn doc found my fibroids doing ultrasound with a vaginal probe as opposed to the regular abdomal way, which showed nothing. shaynapearl wrote: >, >Thanks for checking up on the name of it.
