I completed a six month session of Lupron Therapy and it made a huge difference in my life in terms of pain. I have abdominal wall endometiosis, which is wacky. It has been 5 months since my last injection. So I experienced some relief. During the therapy i did not have a period. I got my 1st post lupron period in December, As the months progress the pain is increasing. I'm wondering if I should do another round of Lupron. I experienced side effects such as hot flashs, insomnia, hair loss and mood changes. So why would I do it again? Because the months without the pain made a huge difference in my life. I was active again and able to enjoy life without scheduling life around the pain. Any comments?
My 16 year old daughter have been suffering from clear vaginal discharge in huge amount, which sometimes wets her panties n followed by a mild lower abdomen pains. What should i do, pls advise.
Ever since I started using triphasil contraceptives whenever I get to the mustard coloured pill my discharge becomes irregular (it keeps flowing like I'm on my periods) and changes colour to a yellowish colour and my vigina itches till I get to the red pill where I end up on my periods. Is this normal or should I be changing the form of contraceptives I'm using?
i have fibroids & recently i could them inside my vagina. It felt like a rope is it normal?
