Hi Amanda,

I have both PCOS and endometriosis. My periods started early and have always been excruciating and very irregular. Sometimes i would bleed for a few months straight and then sometimes I would have no period for many months. It was a constant roller coaster ride and the doctors were not really very helpful either. I've had many surgeries (a few laporoscopies and dnc's) and at 24 a doctor suggested a hysterectomy but none of the doctors took my symptoms seriously.

I chose not to have the hysterectomy because I wanted to have children. Because my symptoms went without proper treatment for so long, at 36 I have recently been diagnosed with endometrial cancer and most likely have to have a hysterectomy after all and I have not had children yet. My doctor has put me on metformin for the PCOS and progestin for the estrogen increase but it is very likely that I may not have developed cancer had the PCOS been properly treated years earlier. With PCOS there is usually an increase in weight because of decreased insulin sensitivity and the PCOS make it very difficult to lose weight, ironically that is the best treatment for it. I have put on weight in the past 5 years and for the past year I have eaten very healthy and do intense 1 - 1.5 hr workouts 5 -6 days / week and the weight is coming off very slowly. That is what the metformin helps with. The irregular periods need to be treated because that effects estrogen levels that can have very negative effects like cancer.

I am not trying to scare you, I only want to stress how important it is to make sure YOU make the doctors treat your conditions properly. I am now receiving information that had I received it earlier would have made all the difference. I was made to feel in the past that I would just have to learn to live with it and I listened because we are taught to trust the doctors.

I now have a doctor that is fabulous and I truly wish that I had found him sooner. I don't know where you live but he is in Vancouver and his name is Dr. Rosengarten. He has been such a blessing.

I wish you the best my dear. And this can be treated don't just learn to live with it.

I have PCOS which is a hormone disorder but not a cyst full of ovaries (polycystic ovaries). I have endometriosis too (is this what you meant) not endometritis which is an inflammation of the uterine lining called the endometrium.

I've been dealing with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and endometriosis for 10 years.

I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, and have been very successful with treatment with metformin. It's reduced the pain from my periods, and made sure I have regular cycles. Because PCOS often comes with insulin related issues, for some women, drugs that treat Type 2 diabetes can often help with controlling PCOS symptoms. Alternatively, birth control pills can also provide regular menstrual cycles, and help adjust the length of your cycle, to help reduce the pain you may experience from the endometriosis.

there is not any such aspect as a "cervical maximum cancers jab". What they attempt to push on you is the vaccine it is for HPV, which will (or would no longer) be a reason behind cervical maximum cancers. It in trouble-free terms protects hostile to 4 kinds of the virus and at the same time as many women folk have had it without complications it has brought about extreme unintentional outcomes in some and a minimum of 20 ladies have died from it. It grow to be pushed through way too quick and lengthy time period unintentional outcomes are not any further yet known. i'd not in any respect get it nor would I ever enable my daughter get it. basically bypass to the internet website of organization that makes it (Merk) and look on the elements and choose in case you want them injecting such issues as that into your body. FYI, medical doctors get money bonuses from Merk for each dose they offer out, so it is of their maximum ideal interest to get as many women folk to take it as plausible

There are many medications available to help you, please ask your doctor! From personal experience, the symptoms of polycystic ovaries can be reduced by following a low carb/high protein diet. You will feel so much better and have more energy. Keep your chin up and please see your doctor about your concerns!
