Abdominal and ovarian pain combined with low libido: anyone else dealing with this?
in Women's Health ·
Question: Can anyone offer some advice?
1. I’m dealing with constant abdominal pain in my lower pelvic region. My ovaries are acting up so sporadically and intensely that I’m forced to rely on painkillers just to get through the day.
2. I’ve been on Yasmin / Diane for 10 years now to manage PCOS. There’s zero improvement with the cysts (though it did help clear up my acne and unwanted hair), and if I ever stop taking them, my period completely vanishes.
3. My prolactin levels are high, but I don't have any pituitary tumors (I had surgery for one 10 years ago) and my thyroid is perfectly fine.
4. I have discharge that changes color and consistency daily, accompanied by a terrible odor—it is honestly so frustrating and gross. To make matters worse, every single STI test comes back negative. I’ve done all the work, including getting Pap smears every few months.
5. My libido has basically vanished, which is bizarre considering how high-drive I usually am!
...and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
How am I supposed to fix this when even the gynecologists can't seem to help me??
