Re: Re: OT - SCD - Intestinal Endometriosis

[Guest guest]

Having

the intestinal endometriosis was mentioned to me as a good possibility when the

pelvic ultrasound, and the pelvic MRI, revealed I had a very abnormally large

ovarian cyst, along with 100+ smaller cysts on each ovary (I have/had PCOS).

I had a lot of other symptoms that indicated probable endometriosis. Pain

was the most severe symptom, especially in the month prior to my rush surgery,

but I had been dealing with most of the common symptoms associated with endometriosis

for a year or two. There are lists of the common ones on many websites; here’s

one http://www.endo-resolved.com/symptoms.html

I’m

not sure if my gynecologist felt that the intestinal endometriosis was likely

because there were indications on the ultrasound and MRI films, or because there

was a likely connection since I had one very large ovarian cyst and most of the

related endometriosis symptoms. I was so sick at that time that I didn’t

pay enough attention. I’m guessing it was because the films indicated

the ovarian cysts were pushing up against my descending colon so endometriosis

was a likely condition. Hmm, guess I need to get a copy of my test

results and surgery notes, although maybe I’d rather not know how bad

things were [grin].
