Andomyosis / endometriosis + ovarian cancer Posted: 07-08-07 21:27pm
Have heard of other women being diagnosed
with andomyosis that were treated with
same procedures and same dr.. Should I be
alarmed? We all have had the same symptoms
including the feeling like our ovaries are
exploding doubling over. I have ovarian
cancer in my family and is another concern
of mine.

Adenomyosis is endometriosis of the
uterus. Symptoms of adenomyosis are
painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) and a
larger amount of blood during
mesntruation (hypermenorrhea).
Endometriosis of the tubes and ovaries
manifests with painful menstruation, pain
before/after menstruation, irregular
cycles, sterility etc. Given the symptoms
you report, you could be experiencing
endometriosis but this diagnosis should be
confirmed with ultrasound examination and
laparoscopy if necessary. You can consult
a gynecologist for an expert opinion.
