Questions to ask endometriosis specialist?
I’m having my first appointment with a specialist next week and am hoping to get a good list of questions I should have prepared for them.
Background: I have not received a formal diagnosis through a lap. However, I am another individual who’s been failed by the US healthcare system as my endo symptoms ended me up in the ER about a month ago and that is when they did imaging to find a 8cm hemorrhagic cyst on my L ovary, as well as the kissing ovaries sign.
I have technically never been told/considered to have endo before, even though I’ve always expressed painful periods and I know my past routine scans have indicated smaller hemorrhagic cysts. After meeting with my PCP, he is pretty certain it’s endo and encouraged me to do my own research and find a specialist.
Any suggestions of questions to have ready for this specialist would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
