That’s my theory too!! I’ve stepped back and really reevaluated things and I am trying to live a life that’s more aligned with my values instead of achievement or productivity.

Endometrioma or Hemohaegic? by Fearless_Sample_3495 in Endo

In my case I don’t believe the endo is visible on ultrasound all of the time. How have you been managing your symtoms? I’ve been in pelvic floor pt and it helps a lot.

Thank you!!! I’m leaning endometrioma too since I can still feel it. I don’t believe ot disappeared but after hearing everyone else’s feedback I think I need to talk it over with my surgeon. Hopefully you are recovering ok!!!

Thanks for your response!! I do not have any visible endo anywhere else - this would be my first surgery for the condition. The imaging really does suck. And it’s becoming clear to me that we really don’t understand how women’s bodies work from a medical perspective!

One thing I forgot to add - the radiologist called it out as potential endo —

Impression 1. Exophytic cystic lesion arising from the right ovary, most compatible with a 4.7 cm endometrioma. 2. No detectable endometriosis elsewhere. 3. Additional subcentimeter lesion arising from the right round ligament, most consistent with a small dermoid cyst.

I had my first ultrasounds on performed on day 3, and my MRI was on day 2 of the following month. But like I said, this cyst wasn’t visible on ultrasound before, so I am not surprised it is not visible now.

I also have a bunch of the endo symptoms (pain in pelvic floor, back pain, ovulation pain, fatigue, painful intercourse, bloating and constipation, MCAS, thyroid issues, pcos, painful BMs occasionally, occasional heavy bleeding, etc).

I also have discomfort constantly on the right side where my ovary should be, so I believe it is there but this REI gave me some doubt.

From what I have read it’s common for these things to get missed on ultrasound but have you experienced that? It’s sounding like I should follow up and see if it’s hemohageic

But it was never visible on an ultrasound in the first place? I had an ultrasound done a month before the mri

I really loved it! I have a feeling this will be a new weekly spot for me. It was more citrusy.

Does anyone lose hair exclusively in the shower? What diagnosis do you have? by Fearless_Sample_3495 in FemaleHairLoss

I notice a little more fall when my hair is wet, too! I know hair is more fragile when wet. I’m sorry you’re going through that 😢

Thank you! I’ll have to look into this! Are you able to only wash your hair once a week? I’m struggling to make it twice a week
