What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain, Multiple Fibroids In Uterus And Ovarian Cyst?
Question: Hello,
My name is XXXXXXX I need help. I have been to several doctors and no one seems to be able to help me with my constant pain. I suffer every month since I was 16 (I am now 24) with severe lower abdomen pain. I have had several sonograms and blood work taken. I have the same answers all the time. I have multiple fibroids located on my uterus and an ovarian cyst. They tell me that with each period my cyst and fibroids are too small to cause me any kind of pain. They have informed me that with birth control it should control me pain. This has not been the case for me. Every month before my mentrual cyle I suffer for sharp pains. This pain leaves me feeling motionless and tired. I can not sleep because I can only go for about two hours before the pain wakes me up. I have tried Advil. Midol pain killers. Everything. They work for two hours and the pain comes back right away. I can't handle the pain anymore. Please someone help me.

Thank you Dr. XXXXXXX
I have done all of that. I even had loposcoptic surgery to find out if I had endometriosis they told me that I do not have it. I have a twin and she however has the same pain and has endometriosis. I automatically was convinced I had it as well. I have had loposcoptic surgery twice once to find out if I had endometriosis and the second time was to find remove cyst on my ovaries. Every time I get a sonogram I have had vaginal sonograms and regular ones. I have x-rays ct on my adomodinal. Everything is always the same I have little cyst and mutiple fibroids on my uterus that they tell me will disolve with my period. Once I get my period the pain does go away. My periods are normal and not heavy and only last three days. I have been told time and time again there is nothing they can do for me but to live with the pain. I really can't every single month. It hurts sitting at my desk at work. While walking. I can't exercise or have sexual intercourse. This pain is seriously taken over my life and to be told there is nothing I can do about this makes me so emotional! There has to be an answer please feel free to pass this along for opinions I am desperate at this point. Please help!
