Should I or shouldn't I
So I have been having pain in my left pelvic side for al,oat a yer. They have done ultrasounds and saw I have poly cystic ovaries (which I knew) they did MRI on back to make sure it wasn't spine/sciatic, it's not. Now they wanna do exploratory laparoscopic surgery. They said they don't expect to find anything but they wanna rule out gyn issues. Should I have this done??
Personally, I would base it on how much it's affecting my life. Is it interferring with your day to day activities? Do you take pain meds? Those can cause problems over time. Is the pain tolerable? Intermittent?
When looking at a procedure like this, or even a CT scan for that matter, I always ask, will this change anything? For better?
I recently had an ovary removed due to pain. I initially put it off because it seemed to have gone away and I really didn't want surgery. Then I was in bed for three days popping pills, so for me it was a no-brainer.
Thisis a tough one. Especially since they don't think they will find anything.
I personally don't know about the scar tissue but can they see scar tissue in the MRI? I wonder if scar tissue shows up in any type of radiology.
Good luck with your decision.
