I've been reading the posts, and let me just say how wonderful you are to assist everyone with their problems and fears.
A brief history: I was sent to ER with fairly severe side pain believed to be appendix, CT scan found a partially ruptured cyst on R ovary. Went to gyn and cyst was monitored for 3-4 months. No major changes except in different diameters (like it was spreading wider, but not larger). Gyn thought dermoid, scheduled surgery for 5/17. Cyst turned out to be endometrial, and the spreading was due to the endo leaking pretty much constantly, which is why it didn't get bigger in size. She removed cyst and as much endo as she could, and was put on Depo-Provera after surgery to try and stop endo from growing more.(Never had endo or symptoms of endo before)
I'm four months out of surgery, and the pain has been increasing for the past several weeks, from dull ache to sharp pains and ache (like a constant muscle cramp). Gyn did put mesh over the ovary to try and prevent adhesions. Period started (very light) about the same time, and even with moving shot to 8 weeks instead of 12 weeks, and doubling the dosage, period continues.
What are the odds that these are adhesions causing all this? Is there any test that can see the extent of them? Or could an endometrial cyst re-form that quickly?
Can endo become cancerous? (there are some cancers in the family line.. nothing uterine that I know of, but most of family was adopted, so records are incomplete).
Thanks for any help... I really appreciate it.
