Hi Xueyan,
I went to 2 tcm doctors for ensuing that the diagnosis are the same. The first one wasnt so good but the 2nd one that i am seeing seems ok for the time being. I am in my second month with her. She is dr he quiling from eu yang san (eys) at south bridge road. She speaks both chinese and english and seem familiar with gynae related problems. There are a bit of write up and sharing from the girls in the forum about her. Another lady you may consider seeing is dr tan siew buoy from thong chai free clinic near sgh. She is expert in this area but her medication needs to brew.
For the first month that i see dr he, i need to see her on a weekly basis to ensure that the medication is suitable for the body. This is because each person' body composition is different and absorb medication differently. So for the first month, when my mense came, i only took her medication and did refrain from taking additional western painkiller. So i think the medication shape up my body's womb and help to lessen the pain. so the pain level dropped from 9 to 7 but i still have pain for 3 days and migraine and nauseaness on 3rd day.
Dr he' consultation for first time is $16 and subsequently it's $10. Medication is $7 per day for about 3 packets of medication. Need to take the medication daily hence per week cost is about $7x7 days + $16.
My friends have told me that i look better in the sense that i do not look pale and weak hence i think that is good but i think diet is important also. I have learn to cut down on many food believe me, u will lose weight especially food is cooked in healthier manner and i cannot take seafood, caffeine, alcohol, dairy products and reduce meat intake. But i do sin a little while when i really miss taking those yummy food.
As I am now overseas, i took 1 month supply from dr he. Hence i shall monitor my condition, now that i need to adapt to new environment and food and hope the medication will help manage my mense. Dr he also says that i need minimum 3 months for the body to see effect but i think i need much longer treatment as i have been suffering the disease for more than 15 years but the last 4 years were really bad.
Hi Anggie,
Thanks, i will update on my ivf when i start in sep.
Maybe you want t0 check with your gynae on your case and why you are having a difficult time now especially yours was diagnosed as mild endo. Normally after clear up, mense pain would reduce or disappear for at least 6 months. MIne was classified as severe endo so i think mine is stage 4, that's why cramp recur after laparoscopy because my gynae cannot take out the 5cm growth from uterus without damaging it. Unless i do not want pregnancy, then he would remove the whole womb so i suspect my pain is due to the growth known as adenomyosis (cousin of endo). The rest of the endo deposit outside my uterus are cleared up i hope.
Better meet up with your gynae and ask him how to reduce the discomfort or pain u are going through.
Update us ok.
