Hello to all SC on here,
This is a great forum - seems really supportive which is why I'm posting this concern...
I have all the usual delights of PCOS including long term heavy periods. My GP has sent me for a D&C to see whats going on etc etc. I have been diagnosed for 15 years and this is the first time a D&C has been suggested.
I am really concerned that I am putting myself at risk by having this op because
a) I am obese at the moment
b) I have a history of surgical uterine haemoraging
c) I am taking anti depressants that also thin my blood!!
Does anyone have experience of this kind of issue? In the past, I have managed to lose almost all the weight I needed to and my symptoms all but vanished - including the period problems. For the first time ever, I had light bleeding, for around 5 days, every fourth week!!!!
Should I risk the op or should I just carry on trying to lose the weight again?
I know that having PCOS means I am at some risk of uterine cancer, but I'm just as concerned about the risk factors in the op itself.
I had no intention of waffling on this much - it's surprising how a supportive atmosphere can make a girl talk!! Sorry!
