“If you are able to contact the listener who submitted the story about wanting to leave their boyfriend and was struggling with painful intercourse, please do and tell them this: they likely have vaginismus or endometriosis, but most likely endometriosis. She said she went to the doctor and they ruled out any conditions, but endometriosis can’t be ruled out without surgery. If the doctors ruled out vaginismus, which it sounds like they did, then endometriosis is a very likely explanation of her symptoms. The type of pain they were describing is not caused by not being wet enough. Endometriosis can cause painful intercourse. Some uninformed doctors will claim that they can rule out endometriosis with an ultrasound, but ultrasounds can only detect chocolate cysts which most women with endometriosis don’t have. MRIs can detect some lesions but it can’t rule it out. Surgery is diagnostic and provides treatment. I would recommend trying to finding a surgeon via nancy’s nook endometriosis education facebook group. Excision specialists have a better success rate than other surgeons sho perform surgery for endometriosis. While hormonal birth control can be used to treat endometriosis, many need surgery for it to be manageable. Lupron and orlissa don’t produce long term results and have many serious permanent side effects including significant bone density loss. If hormonal birth control has failed, the surgery is the best treatment option for endometriosis. I just wanted to write this review on the off chance that you guys still have this person’s email because it often takes a decade to get diagnosed with endometriosis after onset of symptoms.”
