Trip to the ER
Question:
I missed the chat tonight because I was sitting in the ER. I went to my reg dr this afternoon and she sent me right over to the hospital to have an ultrasound done. The dr said that everything appeared normal, but he thinks that I may have some cysts inside my ovary besides the normal kind. Also he said that in order to deal with it I would need my ovary out. This really scares me, I am only 19 and the thought of having an ovary removed is really upsetting. He also said that I need to go into the urgent care center to have another blood test done tomorrow because he thinks that I have internal bleeding…is that normal with endo? But anyways…I am done venting thank you all! Zoe
I’m not a medical professional but I don’t think you necessarily have to have the ovary out. I may bemixing things up, but cysts inside the ovaries sound like PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) and I have a friend who has it and still has all her equipment….there is another support group online that could give you more information about it (alt.support.pco). I only know a little….I know it’s painful, can include weight gain and acne, and like endo can affect fertility in some women. The internal bleeding may or maynot be endo related….as I understand it, part of endo is that the implants bleed inside us like our uterine lining bleeds out as our periods. Is this doc a GYN and does he have a clue that you have endo? I’m sorry you spent last night in ER…I’ve yet to wind up there due to endo…I was in a few months ago for other reasons though….not fun! *HUGGLES* Tricia (the first one)

I had a cyst inside an ovary and it was taken out during surgery (it was causing some nasty pain) and was just a "normal" cyst. I’m not sure what he means by internal bleeding, unless he suspects some kind of injury, and assuming he’s not talking about the bleeding that endo tissue will do during your period, wherever it is. Good luck! Sue Ann M.
