Endometriosis & Menstrual Pain
PAIN AFTER MENSTRUAL CYCLE
I have been taking pain killer every month during my menstrual cycle (this has been going on for at least five years plus). The pain sometimes was so terrible that I will have this sharp pain on my left lower adominal side. I have gone for check-up/ultrasound with few specialist on my monthly menstrual pain problem. One doctor told me, I have endometrosis, one told me I have ademyosis and the other told me its fibroids with endromitro-cyst.
Some of the Doctor even advise me to undergo surgery to remove the fibroid.(But there is no guarantee whether or not the fibroid will grow back again after the surgery)
Recently before my menstrual cycle, I have some stomach discomfort.
Then after my menstrual cycle, I will have this stomach pain for at least 4-5 days. On the 4th and 5th days, the stomach pain comes together with the sharp pain on my left lower adominal like menstrual cramps, then I take the hormone pills-Norcolut and it does help as the pain would go away after that.
Please let me know what causes the stomach pain and the sharp pain on my left abdomen?
Is there any other solution to resolve the pain without going through surgery?

HI,
Menstrual pain that persists for 4 to 5 days after the end of menstruation suggests endometriosis. Hormonal treatment will help control the disease. Either monthly pills or progesterone can be taken. For the pain, NSAIDS and mefnamic acid containing drugs are helpful. You should take a second opinion from a gynaecologist, to confirm the diagnosis. Hope this helps.
Take care.
