Hi there i am a 26 year ols woman and i have endometriosis. This is a disease which is too much linen of the womb inside and outside the womb therefore when i menistrate the extra linen does too causing adhesions very painfull and can leave a woman infertile as it as left me this way i thank god he blessed me with a son before i became infertile he is nearly nine years old now. I found out five years ago after a laperoscomy (surgery cameras into the womb) that i have grade 4 endometriosis. I was devistated as my husband and i wanted a large family. Since then i have had various treatments zoladex 1 injection into the belly every month for six months this is a hormone which chmicly put my body through the menopause as they said this would trick my body into healing process. after the treatment my body would be normal and i would menostrate again it was a tempory fix. This didnt work for me, i became moody,parinoid and depressed not to mention the hot flushes. After i came off the tratment the pain was worse than before and i began to menestrate for over three months at which point i was rushed into hospital with severe pain. They have me now on a hrmone treatment called northisterone. Take 1 tab three times a day for 3 months then take a week of to menistrate and keep doing this it stops me bleeding altogether. i asked how long will i have to take it they said up to 16 years. WHAT!! I said what will happen next and they say im to young for a hysterectomy and there is to date no cure. Im unhappy as the hormone treatment is all they can offer it makes me feel different not like a woman. Should i even be taking a hormone treatment? How does the catholic faith look on this?
what would you be". This upset me a little and scared me too. Beleive me i am looking for closure on this but i dont think that there will be closure anytime soon.
