way! My body told me I was going through the change (all the signs were
there). The male GYN I was going to said my pap was fine and I wasn't going
through the change. I found a good, Christian female doctor who IMMEDIATELY said
she believed from all the symptoms that I may have Endometriosis which is the
first signs of cancer. She said she wanted to do a test for it because Pap
Smears don't detect Endo. She did the test on my first visit to her and said
it showed I had Endo. The male GYN had me on hormones which she told me to
stop taking immediately as it would make the Endo grow faster. She said I
needed a hysterectomy ASAP. After the surgery, I felt so much better. I
never went back to that male GYN...he didn't even bother to check me further nor
did he tell me Pap Smears don't show Endo. If you must have a hysterectomy
and you don't plan to have anymore children, you may want to have a!
total one so you won't have to worry that cancer cells spilled over to the
ovaries. Do men have as many problems as we women? If so, I don't hear about
them that much.
