I’ve been experiencing the first stages of endometriosis for over a year now. I’ve had it for about 4 years now, so it’s not a brand new symptom, but it has continued to get worse for me. I was diagnosed with the disease when I was 19 and now I’m 29. I’ve tried all the standard treatments, including surgery, progestin injections, and other hormone therapies, but nothing has helped.
Endometriosis can be treated by surgery, hormone therapy, and progestin injections (which is essentially a pill that you swallow). As I said, I started the progestin injections as I was told to do it, because it has helped me to get a period again, but it was too late for me when I did it as it had already started.
Ive been on my own for 30 years, and I can tell you, if you are not in your mid 30’s, you are not getting any help. The number of women in my age range who have been told to take progestin is about one in every two hundred women in that age range, so if you are not in your mid 30’s you are not going to get help.
Endometriosis is a condition that affects the lining of the uterus, and has been found to affect as many as 10% of women by age 60. Symptoms include irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and painful pelvic exams. Because there are so many women with endometriosis who are in their mid 30s, there are a lot of women in their mid 30s who have been told to take progestin.
As mentioned before, progestin is almost always a bad idea. But as a supplement, it has the potential to help a woman have a higher number of natural periods (since there is a lot of pain involved with a regular period). So if you are in your mid 30s and do not have a regular period, but want your period to be more frequent, try taking progestin.
Endometriosis is a painful issue in women, because of pelvic pain, but the progesterone in progestins can have other benefits. For one thing, you may be able to notice a few fewer menstrual pains in the future. In fact, for women who take progestins, it has been shown that periods can start earlier than they did before taking the medication.
Taking progestin, estrogen, and progesterone is a combination that has been shown to be effective at preventing endometriosis, but there are concerns and side effects associated with the combination. However, there are also supplements that offer similar benefits. For example, the progestin called Femara can also help with endometriosis, in addition to the progesterone in the supplement.
The most common types of endometriosis are fibroids, and there are two types: non-malignant and malignant. For non-malignant endometriosis, the only way to clear it is through surgery. For malignant endometriosis, surgery is necessary to remove the endometriosis. Surgery is a very serious surgery, and can have risks, especially if done at an outside hospital. In general, surgery is also expensive.
The Femara supplement is only available in the U.S. and Canada. The U.K. version is available on Amazon, but I’m not sure if you can get it in the U.S.
One thing that is often overlooked when considering the risks and benefits of surgery is that you need to know the details of your case so that you and your surgeon can properly assess the risk/reward for your surgery. Surgery is always risky; the goal of surgery is to make things better, not worse. You should definitely discuss your situation with your surgeon, but be prepared that you’ll be taking all kinds of risk.
