Sminchins blog about her recent results got me thinking.
Years ago I was told by a doctor that as a woman I should "expect" to have pain. Her answer to being in so much pain after sex was to advise me to only have sex on Fridays 
She said in response to an ultrasound that I had a little bit of everything giving me pain.
The company I worked for had private medical insurance and I chose my own doctor (he delivered my son 13 years before) He booked me in for a laproscopy the next day, sayin he would pick up my notes from the NHS hopsital on the way. When he came to see me pre op, he threw my notes on the bed and said had he seen the ultrasound results the day before he would have been giving me an hysterectomy. He said had I been reffered to him on the NHS he'd have operated straight away.
I had:
Extensive adhesions
Endometriosis
Fibroids
and an ovarian cyst!
I had the hysterectomy a week later an amazed the nurses with how quick I recovered. As the cosultant said, I was probably in less pain post op than I had been for years!
(((hugs))) to Sminchin!

I read your post Teri, as a fella I don't know an awful lot about the problems, but was amazed to read that your doctor that made that suggestion was a woman.
