Question 1

hi, i'm a 37 year old women with a serious   condition of endometriosis. is anavar a helpful steroid to use like a option?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: Anavar is an anabolic steroid that is used by body builders to build muscle mass.  Typically endometriosis is effected by the sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone.  Unless taking the anavar effected your level of sex hormones then it would not significantly effect endometriosis.  Hope this helps.

Question 2

am 39 yrs old, female, never had kids.  would a hysterectomy help with pain from endometriosis and interstitial cystitis?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic pain can: be difficult to diagnose and treat.  Hysterectomy might or might not help.  Get an opinion from both gyn and urologist, preferably at a medical center.

Question 3

for a 23 year old female with endometriosis what would be the cause of pelvic pain when she uses tampons of any size during her period.

Accepted Answer

Pain: Endometriosis can be associated with many different locations of pain/discomfort. The best approach is an exam and evaluation with a qualified md.

Question 4

is a uterus size 9x4x5cm witj a hemging cyst size18x9x13 normal with endomertiom of 6mm thicnkness in a 32 year old woman. that has endometriosis ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you mean 18mmX9mmX13mm then yes, but if the measurement was cm (centimeters) then that's very large and needs to be addressed.  A hemorrhagic corpus luteum (cyst that forms after ovulation) is normal and 18 mm (millimeters) in size is quite normal.  Your endometrial thickness is fine as is your uterine size.

Question 5

i have had an extremely extremely light period for over two months. its brown, sometimes pink. but it is barely there. not possible for me to be pregnant, im a 36 year old female. i do have a history of pcos and endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

: PCOS and endometriosis both predispose to irregular menstruation due to lack of occasional ovulation. This may affect hormone levels, and cause skipped periods, light periods or heavy periods. If you have not been sexually active at all for the last 4 months, then no pregnancy test is needed. If concerned, take a test. Follow up with your regular Gyn Dr for further treatment for these conditions.

Question 6

i am a 38 year old female. i have pcos, endometriosis, and small fibroids 3 to be exact. i usually have weird periods but i've had a period now since june 19th and i go thru a box of 16 pads in 2 days. i know this is not normal. i called my gyn but s?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: Congratulations on your assessment that the bleeding since june19th isn't normal. Your question was cut off, but a GYN MD visit is imperative  to be tested for anemia and the source of the bleeding.(probably the fibroids).

Question 7

i'm a 33-year-old woman with unexplained severe pelvic nerve pain thats worsened by fluid intake (especially water), left side only and my elbow. i've consulted specialists, had tests, ovarian cyst surgery, and endometriosis but no explanation?

Accepted Answer

: A proper answer would require a review of all of your records and tests which is well beyond the scope of this brief question and answer format. Endometriosis could be an explanation because symptoms can vary depending on location of implants, so perhaps another gynecologic opinion would be helpful.

Question 8

is endometriosis common among women?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes very common cause of pelvic/lower abdominal pain.

Question 9

why some women not having any symptoms with endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: The degree of endometriosis does not always correlate with the severity of pain.  Many women with endometriosis have no symptoms.

Question 10

help with female issues? endometriosis symptoms, but not sure if it's that

Accepted Answer

What symptoms?: The more specific you re about what you are feeling, the better the answer we can give. Painful periods, pain with intercourse? That could be endometriosis. Irregular periods? That's not. You need a history and an exam to help you sort this out. Good wishes.
