Hepatic adenoma, liver, elevated estrogen & thyroid levels

I was recently diagnosed with a hepatic adenoma and have today found out that my estrogen, thyroid & other hormones were elevated. I do not currently use birth control & haven't for a very long time. I have pain in my right side & had my gallbladder removed last year due to gallstones. I see a specialist in 2 months. I am very worried as to what may be wrong with me.

Thank you. I was just recently diagnosed within the last few weeks. I see a specialist in January so hopefully he is a good doctor. My family doctor doesn't seem at all concerned. I had to go my gynecologist myself & ask for my levels to be checked. I was told by my family doc that it could be caused by high estrogen levels due to the oral contraceptive pill. And because I haven't been on anything in years I wanted to be checked. I haven't had any liver panels or bloodwork done by my family doctor. He wanted to wait 6 months & repeat the MRI to see if it had grown. I had to request to see a specialist. I'm very close to finding a new doctor.

If I was you I would not be as worried about the hormone levels as I would be getting the hepatic adenoma removed right away. They cause pain the same as when your gall bladder goes bad on you.  Then, after the adenoma is removed then have your levels checked again and take it from there.  Good Luck!!  Hope you feel better soon!!!
