^Good for 6 months yung Visanne ko starting last May. Sabi ni doc nung napostponed surgery ko, for monitoring ako every 2 months. Kaya lang sa august pa yung next sched ko for ultrasound, akala ko sa july eh.hehe! para kasi akong ticking time bomb kaya gusto ko malaman agad yung progress ko.

Thanks sis.

Goodluck sa atin lahat!

[susejangeles]

hi mga sis

i'm so happy I found out this thread. Matagal na rin akong hindi nakakapost dito sa fn

anyways, I was also diagnosed to have endometriotic cyst in my right ovary last June 27, 2015 lang. According sa ultrasound, 4.8cm na siya. I'm really worried about this. My ob-gyne suggested me to have injectables muna for 2 months. That's 6500 for each month. I forgot lang kung ano yun specifically. Ang purpose is to stop my menstruation muna then titingnan if magrerespond ang cyst. If hindi, surgery na. I was so depressed during that time. By the way, I'm 26 years old na, married and have 1 child naman (Thank God!! Pero siyempre we have plan pa rin na magkababy in the near future kaya lang this cyst bothers me so much. Then my husband and I decided to ask for 2nd opinion in their Clinic. (My husband is working in a clinic in Mandaluyong). Then the doctor there told me na ang suggestion niya talaga sakin ay surgery na. Kasi daw the injectables have a lot of side effects like weakening of bones, hot flush, etc. Sabi niya rin, usually daw sinusrgery nila pag 5cm na pero sakin pede na rin daw kasi yung ovary size ko din ay 5cm lang then my cyst is 4.8cm na

But of course, I really don't want to undergo surgery. Kasi nabasa ko din and naconfirm sa doc na may tendency talaga na bumalik din ang cyst. So sakin parang anong sense? sayang lang pagpapasurgery. Money and time ang masasayang lang diba. Kaya i'm happy na nahanap ko itong thread. Pero here are my following questions sana. Hope you could help me. Kasi until now, ayoko pa ulit muna bumalik sa doctor.

1. Anyone here tried Visanne? Last year lang ata ito na-introduce if I am right.? Kasi di naman din ito nabanggit sakin ng dalawa kong OB.

2. Guyabano juice effective po ba?

3. Althea for endometriosis? Does it help?

Thanks in advance

^^ sis Momentum, ako puro spotting lang (dark and almost dried blood) during my actual period, it lasts for 2-3 days max lang. I'm on Visanne kasi, ganun daw effect sabi ng OB, pero minsan kinakabahan pa din ako pag magkakaron ako.

^Sis Susejangeles:

^ hi sis, i'm on Visanne, as prescribed by OB, mga 2.5 months na din. So far nagstop naman na yung pain around my lower abdomen. I was diagnosed November last year, 8cm cyst sa right ovary (laki di ba!). I had gnrh for 4 months, sobrang mahal sya pero so far no regrets naman kasi naibsan talaga yung pain ko and lumiit kahit konti (mga 1cm) yung cyst ko. Nagkaron naman ako ng peace of mind kahit pano...

The cyst is still here, minamanaged lang ng Visanne yung pain and other symptoms kasi ayaw din naman ako operahan pa ng OB ko, w/ endometriosis kasi malaki ang chance bumalik ang cyst once na-operahan na.

Isipin mo mabuti kung anong treatment ang gusto mo for you, kasi 4cm is maliit compared talaga sa akin.hehe! Don't be afraid to ask lagi your OB or magresearch about your condition. Wag mag alangan pumunta sa doctor kung sa ikapapanatag mo naman.  Take your vitamins, eat healthy and don't forget to pray. You'll get through it

(btw, Visanne is for endo patients talaga, i'm not sure about Althea)

[susejangeles]

Hi sis @miscalculus salamat sa reply sis san location mo? Gusto ko kasi lumipat ng doc kasi ang options lang na binibigay sa akin ay injectables and operations talaga nakapag pa second opinion na ako.

[momentum]

^^thanks MisCalculus..naka visanne ka pala..ako kasi althea lang tinatake ko.

[MisCalculus]

^^ Pm ko na lang sis suseangeles

^ sis momentum, yup Visanne sa akin nireseta ng doc, sing-bisa daw ng gnrh in eliminating the symptoms, lesser side-effects; also cheaper and oral pill din sya.

[crzysxycl]

Hi sisses! Musta kayo? Tagal kong hindi nakapag post dito, dami inasikaso kasi. Wala ako bagong balita sa endo ko, hindi pa ako nakabalik sa OB after ng HSSG ko.

Sis susejangeles, nag althea ako sis after 6 shota ng depo. Kasi nireklamo ko sa OB ko yung spotting ko, hindi tumitigil eh nung naka depo ako so after nun, pinag althea nya ako, naka 2 sheets ako ng althea. Lumiit cyst ko pero hindi ko alam kung effect ng althea or ng depo.

[susejangeles]

Thanks mga sis i can't reply pa sa pm kasi di pa ata ako pede haha😀😀

Sis how much pala ang Visanne?

[mustard]

Hello po sa lahat.... kamusta na kayo?  May improvement na po ba sa mga treatments nyo sa endo. Natin ??

Wala padin ba tayong cure?
Hindi pa ako bumabalik sa OB ko kasi hindi padin ako nagkakaroon e... ...  3 months lang naman ang effec ng depo... mag 5 months na wala padin ako.... normal po ba yon? dati kasi nagkaroon naman ako agad ....

[susejangeles]

Hello mga sis. Nagpa-3rd opinion ako kanina. And the OB suggest na mag-take muna ako ng Qlaira (contraceptive pills by Bayer). Sabi ni doc eto daw yung nirecommend niya din sa ibang patients niya before at sabi niya maganda naman naging effect nito sa patients niya.

Nagbasa basa din ako kanina about sa Qlaira kasi first time ko siya narinig. You can also read this site mga sis http://expresspharmacy.net/contraception/contraceptive-pill/qlaira/
"There are not many formulations on the market whose contraceptive effectiveness is comparable to Qlaira. These pills have been designed not only for women who want to protect themselves against unplanned pregnancy, but also those suffering from heavy and painful menstrual bleeding, as well as endometriosis. Tested conducted on a group of 250 patients have proved the high efficacy of this treatment in the fight against painful endometriosis."

1st tablet ako ngayon mga sis. Try ko na ito kaysa naman sa wala akong gagawin hehe. Then update ko kayo mga sis sa magiging effect sa akin sana nga lumiit or mawala talaga ang cyst ko dito

God bless!

[momentum]

^sis san nabibili yung Qlaira and how much? will ask this sa next appointment ko with my obgyn

[crzysxycl]

^^balitaan mo kami sis!

[susejangeles]

Hello mga sis

Php 950 po sis isang pack. Bayer din sis ang manufacturer katulad ng Visanne

[susejangeles]

Sa mercury drug pala ako nakabili sis

[mustard]

Hi sis susejangeles ....sana maging maganda ang effect ng pills sayo.... at mura lang ... sana makatulong satin yan.... 

[susejangeles]

Hi sis susejangeles ....sana maging maganda ang effect ng pills sayo.... at mura lang ... sana makatulong satin yan....

Hi sis yes sis. Pang 3rd pill ko na kgabi. So far, so good naman hehe. Wala pa akong naeexperience na any side effect. Sana maging okay ito at maging effective talaga.

[MisCalculus]

^Sis Susejangeles, goodluck. At least ok na yan at saka recommended din ng OB mo

To answer your previous question, Visanne is Php 2,425 per pack (28 pills) sa Mercury or Watsons. Ang sakit sakit sa bulsa, pero mas ok na kesa mag gnrh... 

[andee_gurl]

Hi mga sis,

Possible po ba na normal ang cycle and period pero may endometrial cyst ka pa rin sa ovary?
