A Word From a Patient Living with Endometriosis
“My periods were very painful. As a result, I was told to see my gynecologist. In turn, I was encouraged to begin birth control to help control my hormones. However, birth control only seemed to make it worse! Even more, I was miserable.
When I was in my 20s, I decided to conquer this pain. Even more, I wanted to end the suffering once and for all! My mom told me to talk to the doctor. I asked if endometriosis was hereditary. My doctor at the time said that it was almost impossible for me to have endometriosis because I was so young and had never conceived. At this point, I was just humiliated and afraid to ask anyone again about my pain and suffering during menstruation.”
Recommendation From a Friend for Fertility Specialists Helping Endometriosis
I had a friend that was a year older who went to see a specialist because she was having severe pain and cramping. She recommended that I see him. At 25 years old I had my first laparoscopy. I was told that I had stage 4 endometriosis. It was so severe that my left ovary was embedded in my intestine. I was told at 25 years old that there would be a very low chance of conceiving. After that I had to see 2 other specialists because none of them wanted to touch my left ovary. They did not want to take the chance of hitting my intestine.
“I Almost Gave Up Completely”
I kept getting negative feedback from the specialists UNTIL… until my husband finally talked me into seeing a specialist at Southwest Fertility Center. It took 10 years to finally find specialists I could trust! This made me happy. I was hopeful.
From the first moment of speaking with Dr. Vinay Gunnala it felt right. He is assuring. Dr. Gunnala made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Even more, I had a chance! We covered all the bases. HE was not afraid to take a chance . Furthermore, he successfully operated on my left ovary. Therefore, I was able to increase my chances to conceive. Thank you Dr. Gunnala! I am grateful and in turn, thankful!
“We did it!”
I am officially 5 months pregnant! We did it! Better yet, I did it! I stopped letting endometriosis take charge of my life I changed my life forever!
