OBGYN tells me I only have one option……LUPRON!!?
Just wondering has anyone ever gone to an obgyn visit with a diagnois of possible endometriosis and a large fibroid to be told you need to go on LUPRON and then DEPOROVA for a year or until you reach menopause. This if it takes your pain away will tell us you have endometriosis and then we can decide after that regarding surgery but you must go on it for at least 6 mohtns to a year. I suffer from chronic pain for 4 years which gets worse and debiliting for me right before my period. Other obgyns told me in the past that a myometctomy can be done to remove the fibroid or a hysterectomy b/c of the high level of pain you are in. I did ask what are my options and I was told this was my only option as we here at (XXXX) will not do that. LUPRON is the drug from hell and how any dr. can put any woman on this drug needs thier head examined. I did mention the side effects of this drug and she seemed to downplay the side effects. I was at first elated to think great no surgery but then I found more info on the drug which blew my mind!! OF course surgery is a last resort but after 4 years of pain from another condition which gets considerably worse before my period why was i given only one option and no more. I am young and on Medicare and will reach menopause in about 4 years. Maybe she was trying to help by putting me on this drug but I have never been told you only have one option only and if I could find someone else to do the surgery then go ahead but surgery is invasive etc. She also said htat fibroids do not cause pain b/c women who have babies in their uterus do not get pelvic pain and babies are much much bigger. Mine is on the back of my uterus. I have had 3 dcotrs in the past tell me to get it removed or to get a hysterectomy but this is the first to say you only have one option we do not offer anything else. LUPRON Jfirst to see how you do. IS this normal……………………? jsut curious as I am trying to understand the no other option thing until you try this first to make sure this is what is really causing your pain. Any thoughts anyone………………….this is what I fjound about LUPRON……………..

I also found another site with over 30-40 womens testimonials on the horrific side effects they went through from heart attack, to forgetting, memeory loss, hot lfahes, anger, depression, heaches, nauseau and hair falling out and after they stopped many were dealing with effects that did not go away. I did not put this on here as they would not have wanted it on yahoo would my guess…………………………thanks

I am not sure what you are looking for. You have obviously seen a number of doctors who recommend the same thing, and yet did not follow any advice that was given. I assume you were looking for something other than a hysterectomy.
Hormone therapy is often offered as an option prior to hysterectomy.
If you now want a hysterectomy, go see another doctor. If you don’t think that this doctor is giving you the right advice, look for someone who specializes in the treatment of endometriosis.
If you are looking for alternatives, a friend of mine had some success with a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
