Birth control for endometrios vs ovary removal
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi all 😊 I need some help deciding whether or not I want to try birth control to stop my endometrios or have my ovaries removed. In 1998 I had my cervix and uterous removed do to it but have never been on anything to stop the endometriosis.
Does anyone have any experience ?? I'm 38 the dr says hormones will take a yr ovary removed will stop it but throw me into menopause. Advice please!!

Don't remove the ovaries not until u r older like 50-60. I'm 61 & had my taken out 2wks ago. Now going through mood swings. I had to have my cervix & uterus removed at 35. My doctor told me to keep them as long as I could for healthier bones. I think you should keep them. Good luck with your choice.

Hi there. I'm high-risk for another stroke if I try birth control again.I had two small ones already....27 weeks into my pregnancy and right after I gave birth to my son.

I'm sorry I didn't read anything about u having any strokes. I'm not a doctor. I was just relating what I did & why. At 35 I almost bleed to death I didn't have a choice except to live. I just had 3 TIA's from a Clear air turbulence fall back in 1985. I have not had anymore so far. But I don't take birth control. Each person's body is very different. I hope u make the best choice for u. I wanted a child & lost that chance. I have had neck, back surgery due to this fall & know I will have to have more. So my doctor's choice was right for me. I'm glad she made the choice cause I really need healthy bones. Best of Luck to you.
