Kyleena For Endometriosis

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Hello! So, my OBGYN is telling me she thinks I have endometriosis with everything that’s been going on with my ovaries. She is recommending to have surgery to have the endo removed (I’ve had multiple vaginal ultrasounds done). She recommends I have the Kyleena 19.5 mg IUD implanted during surgery to help with this. There’s a few things I have read that states I should not use Kyleena if I have endometriosis. Does anyone have any resources that could help educate me on why I should not use… read more

Good Morning everyone,
I have seen some posts about someone saying that the doctor must have done an ablation not excision.

Excision

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I’m wondering why it is not a good option to do a combination of excision and cauterizing surgery? The laparoscopic surgery I am currently scheduled for my gynecologist does both excision and cauterization. I’ve been reading that excision only is the way to go. But I would like to know why. I’m currently debating whether not to cancel my scope and try to find another surgeon.

Who has had excision surgery and has it helped with your pain?? My pain is so severe that it’s affecting my entire life. I am considering this option but I am terrified. My endometriosis got a lot worse once I tied my tubes.

Diagnosis/Gyno Recommendations/ Tips??

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Phoenix, AZ

Hi everyone! I am new to this cite and excited to be able to use you all a recourse and build a network with you guys. I am 22 and experience chronic endometriosis pain. For a couple years I went vegan and was very strict with my diet. I then fell into a deep hole of hyper focussed workouts, eating regimens, caloric counting and weighing myself that soon became very unhealthy for my mental health. After some time, I believe myself to be at a healthy balance between positive body image and a… read more
