Was treated for endometriosis now and being told it’s dyspareunia, is it really??????
Posted , 3 users are following.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 18. My initial symptoms were painful periods, pelvic pain, painful sex and extreamly heavy periods. My gyno subjected I’d change my birth control at first to the depot. It worked, my symptoms were almost gone except I was still experiencing extremely painful sex. I was sent for many pelvic sonograms and visited the doctors office frequently. He finally decided to do a laparoscopy, where he found endometriosis. After the surgery my boyfriend and I waited about a month to try and have sex again. It was still intolerable. I hated myself for not being able to have sex. Then my gyno suggested the lupron depot shot. I had three rounds (3 months) of the shot. It still didn’t work... now my gynecologist is saying I have dyspareunia. Has anyone else been in this situation.... should I switch to another doctor for endometriosis. It’s been almost 18 months and I’m sick of being held back in my love life!!!!

Patricia,
I had painful sex and periods for years. I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had laparoscopy to treat it with both relief to my symptoms. I went gluten free 5 years ago for GI issues and was shocked when all my Endo problems disappeared.

Following my Laparoscopy surgery I was given all my photographs from the surgery. It is usual for the doctors to have taken some micro photos at the time. You have every right to call up the doctor and ask for them as proof that you did have endometriosis. If they refuse to give it to you or say they did not take any photos, then switch gynos. You need correct information about this, and a proper doctor would have taken photos of before and after.
I hope this helps, reply with any questions you may have, and I will help to the best of my abilities xx
