I was diagnosed with endometriosis about a week ago after a laparoscopy. they found 2 patches of early stage growth and lasered it away.
However my right ovary is attached to theovarian fossa (from what I can tell, a small depression it should sit in) and I've been told that the only way to unattach it is to have Zoladex injections to stop the female hormone.
After a bit of researching on the internet, it seems that they are normally used to treat early stage breast and prostate cancer. I've trid not to read too much as they dont seem to be very nice, but I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them and what they actually do?
Thanks

The list of side-effects is fairly large... but it doesn't mean you'll end up with them all. I've taken medications in the past where I've suffered from... maybe 60-70% of the listed symptoms. Others have been 0%. Most of the time they tend to be nearer the bottom end of the scale... but I can't comment on this one in particular.
I thimk the only thing to do is to talk it through with my consultant really.
thankyou for your help
