I am 22 when I was in the fifth grade I started my period and we realized it was very abnormal. I was skipping months, starting early,late, and having long or short periods but never any that were consecutive with a prior one. I was put on birthcontrol in the sixth grade and stayed on that untill I was about 20.
I was married a year and a half ago. The night of my wedding I had sex for the first time and that was when I found out that it was going to be almost impossible for me to have painless sex.
I went to some doctors and got no answers so I started looking up my symptoms on the internet to see what I could find. I was convinced that the problem I was having was due to a disease called endometriosis. In all of the searching for answers I was willing to try anything. I was put on a new birth control every month with no good results. I gained about 25 pounds in 2 months from the effect of the pills and even tryed the birth control shot. I then had a month long period and in that time the pain was unbelievable.
That was when a doctor suggested premature menapause. This is the method of treting endometriosis, but whithout being sure I had that I was mad the doctor even suggested it. So I swiched doctors and decided I was going to have the surgeryl. After having surgery for this disease I learned that all of my organs looked perfectly fine and there was nothing in there. The doctor said that this pain was possibly in my head which made me and my family extremely mad.
Since the surgery in October 2006, I have not had a period, the pain durring sex has returned, and things are starting to get bad again. I was told by the surgion that when she was in there looking at all of my organs that my bouls were as full as she had ever seen and that I may have wanted to see a GI. I have still not gone because I just want a break from doctors for just a little while. With no answers I send this measage out into the world to see if any one out there can posibly help.
