A couple of years ago I had a right-side oopherectomy for ovarian cysts that had torted. Following this, I had severe pelvic pain which they diagnoised as endo folllowing a laproscopy (also had adhesions) and treated by use of a progesteron inplant which, until last week, seemed to be working as had very little pain and was able to continue my life as normal.
Last week I was admitted to hospital with right lower abdo pain - initial though was appendicitis but upon surgical intervention, discovered 5 sites of severe endo which have removed. My question is this - I am aware that after progesteron treatment, my next option is GnRH hormone therapy BUT I have epilepsy and know I can't take this as reduces seizure threshold. I have asked for a complete hysto before but my age (25) and fact I don't have children means I am not a good candidate. Does anyone else know of any treatment that epileptics can take for endo? Or is hysto only option? Many thanks!
