PCOS/Endometriosis/Hysterectomy
I just underwent a laproscopic hysteroscopy and have been diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis. I have debilitating cramps all month long and my quality of life has just gotten increasingly worse. I have gone all of the traditional routes of treatment, Mirena IUD, birth control pills and nothing has worked. My OB/GYN is suggesting our next course of treatment would be a hysterectomy.
I was wondering if anyone has undergone alternative forms of treatment in lieu of undergoing a hysterectomy. I am 33 and the idea of loosing my uterus is terrifying at this moment.
TIA

I have a horrible reaction to BCP so they are not a treatment option for me. I had a Mirena for 5 years which seemed to keep the endo at bay but i did notice my PCOS symptoms worsening. My Mirena was removed and replaced this past April and everything flared up horribly despite the absence of my period. I had it removed in October.
We are wanting to stay away from the side effects of progesterone as my weight has increased due to the PCOS and I suffer from PTSD and have pretty severe anxiety which is all assisted with mediation.
