Hi
I am 42 years old. I am told I probably have endo. I had an ectopic 5 years ago and after seeing a fertility specialist never could get pregnant. I seem to have many of the symptoms of endo. I have had previous scopes and CTs and US- all negative. I suffered from GI issues all my life and was told after seeing a specialist that I had IBS. Wondering now if it was endo related. At any rate, I had more pain this last week or so and have an appt with my GYN this week. If given the choice I don't know if I should do BCP or have a hyster and oophorectomy? I am really torn but this pain and symptoms are making me crazy. I am a nurse so right away I think I have some other thing going on. The pelvic pain is just getting more and more. I also have a fibroid. So I am wondering as I don't want to take BCP due to the hormones I wonder if it is just better to have the hyster. However, I am sure I will get some type of hormone replacement then? I see that there is a risk of other cancers and maybe would be good to just get it out. Anyone have any recommendations?
Thank you
