Well my name is Jessi and I'm 20 yrs old and a junior in college. When I was in high school, the doctor told me I have polycystic ovaries and I've always had problems with my cycle. Within the last year, I developed some incredible pain in my lady bits and I had to travel up to the Mayo Clinic to get checked out. It turns out I have vulvar vestibulitis, which put a LARGE damper on my relationship with my boyfriend. 7 weeks ago, I went in for surgery for vulvar vestibulitis. Also, this summer when I get a little money saved up, I will be going in for a laprascopy to check out my polycystic ovaries and check for endometriosis.

Did the surgery work for you?
Also you are very lucky that you had a Dr that was able to reconize that you had PCOCS. I did not, it took 11 yrs for me to find out. Thank you for sharing your story.

Bellevue Pharmacy treats women with polycystic ovaries. Their web address is bpharmacysolutions.com Polycystic ovaries are known to be caused by the imbalance of hormones in women. We have been treated like cattle by the medical community for far too long. No two women experience the exact same symptoms for any of the hormone related conditions because our reproductive systems are uniquely individual. It's time for the entire medical community to treat us as such. The pharmacists at the natural compounding pharmacy are experts in treating women's hormone related conditions. This is a natural and safe form of treatment. The other advice I would give you is to change your diet to a more organic base. There is evidence that the growth hormones in our food source could be effecting our hormone balances. I hope this helps.

Jessi, thank you for sharing with us.
This morning I interviewed one of the top vulvar vestibulitis in North America.
If you have a question that you need answered, I'd recommend that you post it in our ASK section we'll try to get the doctor to give you some feedback.
Cool?
Look forward to helping EmpowHer you.
