Being told that I needed to have a hysterectomy was bad
enough but when I showed my medical friend my blood results, I was horrified to
discover that the diagnosis was completely wrong.
I was diagnosed with endometriosis but shockingly I hadn’t
even had a laparoscopy. I’d been to theatre for a D&C, hysteroscopy and the
mirena coil but incredibly no one had ever considered checking my hormone
levels.
None of the procedures I had worked and when I was
initially told that I needed a hysterectomy, I took things into my own hands
and had a full MOT of blood tests done including getting my hormone levels
checked.
Thankfully for me, I know a hormone specialist, Dr Daniel
Sister. He reviewed my blood results and promptly informed me that I had no
progesterone in my body and that I didn’t need a hysterectomy just
Bio-identical HRT! He further came to my rescue and prescribed me these
hormones when none of the doctors in Ireland would.
I’m now on my fourth gynaecologist and thankfully she
listens to me and does prescribe me my hormones. In fact, I have also just
discovered that I’ve been completely misdiagnosed and that two further gynae
conditions were completely missed!
Thanks to my medical knowledge and contacts I got lucky
but what worries me is how many other women are going through unnecessary major
surgery when a simple prescription of HRT would sort things out for them.
