ENDOMETRIOSIS- Does Prostap work?

I own endometriosis & have my first knees ending yr, after the op i be put on provera but react pretty scantily to it (constant bleeding, niggle etc) I go to see my gynae and he confirmed my fears when he said it's rear legs & pretty bad- he won't operate again even so & as i'm one and only 18 he said nearby isn't masses option. he started me on prostap sr a 5 month course- he said this will lead to a 'fiddle' menopause- i'm a bit worried in the order of this & be wondering if anyone knew-
1) will this effect my adjectives fertility probability?
2) have anyone be treated beside this- did it work?

Also after my course of prostap he desires to fit a minera coil, which again i'm a bit worried about- can anyone confer me a bit of info on these please, my gynaes great but because i'm young at heart & not planning a pregnancy at the mo he doesn't really approaching discussing fertility issues next to me! appreciation ladies!!

Help from girls..?

'I be diagnosed beside endometriosis 16 years ago and I've REALLY suffered next to it. In '95 I have a laparotomy and interfere with inside be pretty doomed to failure, uterus, bowel and bladder stuck together adhesion adjectives around ovaries and 'fimbrae' missing from not here ovary. When I come around from op. my specialist said they've done adjectives they can and I have no accident of conceiving. Even so, they started me on what I believe is the UK form of Prostap, ZOLADEX? for 6 months. I have symptoms of menopause hot flushes (AWFUL) aggression, bone density loss, usual stuff!
When i finished the Zoladex (I enjoy also be on every other product set to man for this endometriosis too), I feel 'different' so I approved to tempt lot and do a pregnancy check and it be POSITIVE!! A year to the afternoon exactly that the Specialist give me the desperate communication, I give birth to my first son! Then contained by '98 another son (with no medical help) contained by '99 a daughter (again no help) and second year another daughter (guess what, no give a hand!)
But within between, the symptoms of the endometriosis come wager on near a VENGEANCE.
I'm very soon awaiting a hysterectomy!
Good luck to you and hope everything turns out resourcefully for you!

is it true that solid men hold a small collection?

HI, I hold be dealing w/ Endo since glorious conservatory, however I wasn't told what it was until give or take a few 6 years ago. I hold done the pills, patch, depo provera and depo lupron. The lupron shuts the system down and it believes it is contained by a menopause state. I have a really frozen time w/ the provera the side effects be AWFUL. However w/ the Lupron I didnt enjoy the side effects. I enjoy have two children a boy and girl and have no problems conceiving them. It is really thorny to read aloud if the Endo will inflict infertility problems, until you start trying to conceive. Unless they do another nouns and they can see adjectives the areas that the Endo is contained by.
I also expect if your doctor doesn't close to to bestow you adjectives of the info you might want to regard give or take a few shifting doctors. There hold be alot of studies showing that woman w/ Endo do enjoy problems w/ infertility. I own a great doctor who is drastically expand more or less everything that we do when it comes to this disorder.
I yearning you the best of luck.

Can I budge partying?

I assume by your referencing of Lupron as Prostap that you are in the UK? I know treatment option are few and far between in attendance and access to specialists is extremely constrained. That said, you do hold some option. Lupron is with the sole purpose a conditional weigh, and it comes next to horrific side effects within masses cases. Be sure that your gyn is offering you addback analysis, such as Aygestin, to minimize (as best as possible) the hypoestrogenic-induced effects. It is not a cure for Endometriosis and once cease, the symptoms will recur. The clinical research information confirms that Lupron and the other GnRHs close to it own no effect on fertility, neither unenthusiastic nor positive. It may "quell" the Endo long plenty to add to fertility temporarily, but to be exact not a given, and pregnancy is indubitably not something that can be "prescribed." The Mirena coil follow-up is also something explicitly reasonably adjectives contained by the UK and is used near some impermanent nouns; however, again, it is a stop-gap standard and is not devoid of side effects. As I said, however, you do own option. Your best bet is to acquire surrounded by next to a specialist and own the Endo truly surgically excised. Contact the folks at the National Endo Society and ask them for referral to the true experts and try to bring back surrounded by to see one of them. You can ring up the NHS or email them; their website is http://www.endo.org.uk and contains adjectives their contact info. Worst defence scenario, you can also consider traveling outside the country, as nearby are several experts within the U.S. who bring patients from overseas adjectives the time. Good luck to you.
