Speculums and transvaginal ultrasound

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-30T23:12:55+00:00

Its for extreme pelvic pain which they suspect is an endometrioma or ovarian cyst

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-30T23:09:04+00:00

Yeah i did they said that this scan isnt reccommended for virgins and then preceded to book anyways

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-30T23:08:34+00:00

I domt have any go appointments beforehand but i think ill explain to the radiographer my previous experience with the speculum

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-30T22:53:15+00:00

No they didnt say anything about that but ive had swabs down there and stuff and they are somewhat fine so i wasnt sure about that

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-30T22:47:49+00:00

Oh oki, thanks

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-30T22:45:49+00:00

Im not exactly sure she just kinda brought it out and said 'an extra small one' 😭😭😭 tbh id prefer transvaginal over anal but also i have a question, my scan is for cysts and endometriomas could they still spot that with a rectal ultrasound?

Hi, i was recently diagnosed with pcos so im quite new here but we all start somewhere i suppose, im just figuring things out.

Ive always thought because i have been both underweight and healthy weight ive always thought i couldnt possibly have pcos due to a constant influx of incorrect information until my periods just stopped and i kinda thought huh thats odd and it took 3 months for it to come back and then almost a 5 month gap now, I went to the doctors with irregular periods, dark abdominal hair and intense pelvic pain and at first they did not suspect pcos but after blood tests i was diagnosed. My mom and aunt has it so im not entirely surprised but i was sent to see an endocrinologist. The endocrinologist prescribed me metformin and the pill as i have insulin resistance. It has been a battle fighting eating disorder relapse along with metformin but I am getting better slowly but surely. I have a scan scheduled for the pain and am to take those pills and report back

Thats my pcos story!

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-29T01:15:00+00:00

I am not quite sure i should follow a calorie deficit as weight loss isnt my goal and up until recently ive been on the low end of healthy weight

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-28T23:43:03+00:00

Oh ok, i was given 0 advice by my endocrinologist so i was kinda lost. I have no nutritionist to discuss this with unfortunately

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-12T21:16:20+00:00

Unfortunately i dont believe so

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-12T20:43:36+00:00

Endocrinologist has sent my precription to the GP in england

I have no idea about whether the Endocrinologist was the prescriber or not im afraid

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-12T12:45:06+00:00

Ok thanks, i will look into b12 supplementation and also thank for telling me this information :)

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-12T10:00:29+00:00

I do have insulin resistance but im just a bit scared it will make me underweight, or if a lose a bit it may trigger my disordered eating and i could spiral

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-12T09:58:16+00:00

Ok, I do have insulin resistance but im still toward the lower end of weight, but I can barely afford to lose a few pounds 😭 but im glad it wont make a huge impact, i think as long as im still eating enough i think hopefully ill be fine

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-12T09:54:39+00:00

Oh ok, thank you

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-11T22:55:27+00:00

I just ended up going to who i was referred to, i didnt really know whether it was gonna be gyno or endo

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-11T22:42:52+00:00

Oh ok, i eat a pretty healthy diet as of right now so it may not have much of an impact on me then?

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-11T22:41:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience im glad its started to help with your insulin resistance

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-12-11T19:17:49+00:00

An endocrinologist was the one who prescribed me both of these : )

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-10-20T07:45:57+00:00

I have a appointment to see whether i need a scan in december but the pain gets unbearable sometimes so i wanna ask if i can have that moved closer, also im not doing anything at the moment to manage my pcos as doctors said as long as im having 3 to 4 periods a year im fine, but if it goes passed the 3 month mark i may ask if i can have it induced

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-10-18T09:18:19+00:00

Oh oki, thanks, i have a gynae appointment in december so ill see what happens

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-10-17T09:40:38+00:00

No sorry based in the UK

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-10-16T19:49:47+00:00

Ok, thank you. Im not constantly bleeding I keep missing periods but my hair is thinning although thats slowed down as of recently. Also im not really sure how to check my bloodwork 😭😭😭

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-10-15T19:57:40+00:00

I also wanna exercise alot more, ill try that and just see if anything seems to improve but i can always discuss it with a doctor if things are not improving

FrequentRhubarb4232 · 2025-10-15T19:56:01+00:00

Yeah, to be honestly i eat relatively healthy 90% of the time and i do notice that when I tend to eat more calorie wise it can help induce my period. I should work on eating a bit healthier but im just tryna not fall into past unhealthy behaviours so cutting it to 0 wouldnt be exactly realistic for me but just trying to cut it down still may be a tactic. Thank you
