Last Tuesday I had LH. I decided to do this because I wanted to take a higher estrogen level. When I took more E, it would cause polyps to bleed.
I found by accident that if I carried about double an estrogen load all my VV symptoms dissapeared. since I had a uterus full of fibroids and polyps anyway, I finally just threw in the towel so I could take more estrogen. My polyps did not grow on a dose of 0.1 mg of estradiol, and the Mirena IUD.
What was interesting here was the biopsy. Years ago I had a bad case of Endometriosis and refused a Hyster then as well as conventional medical treatment. I went to the Chinese physician, and took a Macrobiotic diet. This regimen completely shrunk the Endo lesions, pain and stopped the heavy bleeding. I was normal for many years.
I have never had any abdominal procedures, but the Doc said she found a whole bunch of adhesions that were all dried up which she had to peel away from various spots. I believe this is the remnant of the Endo lesions. Even though the aggressive Endo was cleared up, it left internal scaring. It is possible these adhesions caused a lot of pelvic pain. It will be interesting to see how things go during the next six weeks.
Like all ICers most down South pain I blamed on my bladder, until I found out how much pelvic floor disorder causes a lot of pain that is not from the bladder. Now I also understand that the body does react in synergy, what happens in one place shows traces in another.
I have also read several studies that linked IC with Endo, so I am wondering if it may not have been the original trauma that started the downward spiral?
