Endometriosis?
Best answer:
Neoproxin is okay but its not really for that.
Its a muscle anti inflammatory.
Good old fashioned Ibuprofen (advil) 550mg is the best.
See a herbalist, for a special mixture of homeopathic items to help you with the issues.
Sacredgroveapothacary.org has special herbal teas for menstration and cramps that really really work. They taste like ASS, so be prepared, but they work.
I have had a lifetime of problems with it. REALLY look into your diet and exercise plans as well.i had it, ended up with cancer, got it all out. no herbal will ever helpThis is a page I found for you on Endometriosis. It really goes in depth on it.
Also its says on this page that Vitex and Black Cohosh herbal products would work.I really don't think any herbal rememdies are going to help with your problem. Endometriosis is caused by the uterine lining attaching itself to other organs such as the ovaries. They can cause cysts from this transference as well. I had a severe case of it and nothing helped for the pain. It got so bad it hurt to sit down or even try to urinate. You've heard of people joking about feeling like they have a red hot poker being put inside them--well, that's pretty much how it felt. After suffering for many months I finally went to an OB/GYN doctor for advice and then to a general surgeon for a second opinion. I ended up having surgery--the best thing that ever happened to me. It's best to have a doctor physically examine you to determine how much yours has progressed and then let him make a recommendation. Good luck.www.nih.gov -- they have lots of info
I also have endometriosis and I get stuff from www.endoknow.com -- if you put your profile and email address they will send you stuff on it too. They sent me a cool video all about it.
WebMD -- then you type in endometriosis in the search box and it will give you tons of information.
there is another site called
www.endofacts.com.
and www.healthywomen.org.
there is a medication called Lupron Depot® (leuprolide acetate for depot suspension) is indicated for the management of endometriosis, including pain relief and reduction of endometriotic lesions. The most common side effects with Lupron Depot are generally those related to hypoestrogenism, including vasomotor flushes, headaches and vaginal dryness. A small amount of bone loss (average 3.2% at month six) may also occur during therapy with Lupron Depot, but usually is partially or completely recovered after you stop taking Lupron Depot.
I know what it is like and I wish every women in the world would look on these sites and get more information on endometriosis.
The more educated we are, the more we know how to handle disease like these.
Good luckRead the articles on Dr. John Lee's site at http://www.johnleemd.com.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-driven disease.
It can be reversed simply by supplementing with bioidentical progesterone cream. Progesterone is our body's natural "anti-estrogen" and will fix estrogen dominance signals like endo and fibroids.I have suffered with endo for years. I have found no pain reliever to eleviate the pain. I also tried acupunture which didn't help. Motrin can help a little but not enough. If your pain is that severe, then consider the surgery. I had the surgery but I only had one month of relief before it came back. After I have my baby, I plan on having both of my ovaries removed to help with the pain as my doctor recommends. Good Luck with your pain management.

endometriosis?
Best answer:
yes and he/she will put you on the right treatment.The only way to definitively diagnose endometriosis is to do exploratory laparoscopy. This is when they make tiny incisions in your abdomen and put a camera and tools inside to look around your uterus, ovary and abdominal wall. If they see endometrial tissue, then you have endometriosis.A diagnosis of Endometriosis is not considered certain without a surgical diagnosis. Your doctor can suspect the disease based on symptoms, but there is no way to tell for sure without surgical biopsy confirmation. The disease should never be treated empirically (i.e., offering of Lupron prior to a surgical diagnosis), and you deserve to have it a.) correctly diagnosed and b.) surgically debulked and removed.

Good luck to you.In endometriosis the tissue that lines the uterus is found on the outside of the uterusNormally, the endometrium is shed each month during the menstrual cycle; however, in endometriosis, the misplaced endometrium is usually unable to exit the body. The endometriotic tissues still detach and bleed, but the result is far different: internal bleeding, degenerated blood and tissue shedding, inflammation of the surrounding areas, pain, and formation of scar tissue may result. In addition, depending on the location of the growths, interference with the normal function of the bowel, bladder, small intestines and other organs within the pelvic cavity can occur.
Symptoms of endometriosis can include (but are not limited to):
Painful, sometimes disabling menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea); pain may get worse over time (progressive pain)
Chronic pain (typically lower back pain and pelvic pain, also abdominal)
Painful sex (dyspareunia)
Painful bowel movements or painful urination (dysuria)
Heavy menstrual periods (menorrhagia)
Nausea and vomiting
Premenstrual or intermenstrual spotting (bleeding between periods)
Infertility and subfertility. Endometriosis may lead to fallopian tube obstruction. Even without this, there may be difficulty conceiving. In some women, subfertility is the sole symptom, and the endometriosis is only discovered after fertility investigationsi was diagnosed with endometriosis and i heard the cells can travel to the lungs and other body parts as well. freaky huh?Yes. It just doesn't tell you the extent of it. Or how long will you be able to go without surgery, maybe you'll never have to have it. I don't know much about it, except if it looks like endometriosis to the doc. It is.I would have to say what kind of cells? If they were just abnormal cells. You may have what is called HPV. Over 80% of women between the age 15-45 now have it. There are over 70 strands of it though. If it is uterine cells, yes that could indicate endometrosis. They will most likely do cervical biopsies. That is not super painful, nor rather comfortable. Take motrin first if you have to have biopsies. I'm telling you this out of personal experince. I had abnormal cells after my 2nd child. I did indeed have HPV. They took the biopsy, told me to come back in 3 months. They took a few more no real change. Then my pap smears went normal. If they took a biopsy again it would show the HPV, but it is not active and has not been since 1997. So don't worry. Just see what happens. Below is a link to a site about endometriosis. Just so you can learn about it. Good luck
