Pain and Endometriosis

March 10th, 2010 | by admin |

The UCSD School of Medicine and the Diana Padelford Binkley Foundation bring you the newest installments of this innovative series targeted at successfully managing pain in women. Studies show women often receive inadequate care as pain manifests uniquely in the sexes and requires distinctive treatment strategies. In this program, Karen Berkley, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience, Florida State University, talks about pain and endometriosis.

    Thanks Amy, that was very sweet of you. I will mail you if I get stuck and confused about all of this. I appreciate it. This is such a hard thing to deal with and misunderstood disease. Thank you. :)

    Well… Hi …
    Well… Hi Christmas1971, I was diagnosed by my gynecologist, he is the Director of Reproduction and Fertility in one of the most important hospitals in Mexico City. He told me in 1997 that my endo has spread to my bowel and to my bladder, ureter and may get my colon. So I think it depends in how many organs the endo attacks. I am not sure of it, but after my first surgery he told me so and I go to a check up every 6 months.
    Take care and if you need something let me know.
    Blessings :)

    Hi Amy, I had a dx …
    Hi Amy, I had a dx of endo after 10 yrs. of er trips and emergency surgery for a ruptured choc. cyst and a final dx of endo after a partial hysterectomy in 2007. Stupid me, did not educate myself on it because I have been pain fee since UNTIL a week ago. I now have a choc. cyst and have to have a total Hyst. My quest. is how do I know what stage endo I have. My gyno was awesome, Duke grad, sweet. But she never said anything about a stage. Thanks!

    You are right, it …
    You are right, it is not fair to use them in order to possible get a cure for the ones who have a disease.
    I have endometriosis IV, and being honest I am very sorry, but I can’t handle so much pain every month and for more than 15 years I have suffering this, it is urgent for the young women to find a cure. I am 39yo and I couldn’t have babies, but there is a lot of very young women with this.
    I know what you mean but we need it.
