Go read my post on the endo board. I answered this there.in the endometriosis returning.
I hope you get your answers in October. I really think a gyn will be more useful. This sounds like something an expert on women's problems can answer more than other doctors.
Frankly, any real health problem I've had has been related to gyn issues and without a gyn, nobody would have properly solved the problem for me.
thanks for that my doctor wasn't much help he said it was proberly just the way my periods were surpost to be, because i'd had coil fitted 8 months before the op which stoped my periods! But i have never had painful periods before that and always use a condom so never had anything that would help to reduce pain and heavyness! The doc said that if it continues i should consisder using contraception to help with the pain and heavyness. But i think im going to talk to my gynecologist when i see him in at the beginning of oct.
hope he can be a bit more useful! :)
I had surgery but they didn't take any of my reproductive system. I'm having exactly the same problem. I've been checking with doctors and it's probably the endo returning, but so far it's been inclusive.
I am glad you are seeing a doctor. It may be some type of treatable post-op infection that is causing the problem, not necessarily another cyst. New cysts, unfortunately, can develop (it's not the same ones returning) and there's no real way of knowing if a stubborn new cyst is present other than routine checkups. Under the most normal circumstances they are the result of ovulation and they just go away themselves after ovulation. Let us know what the doctor tells you. Best wishes!
