Endometriosis

I have endometriosis have had 19 surgerys I'm 33 my last was my hysterectomy a year ago I'm still having pain with sex.. my doctor wants to start me on orilissa has anyone tried it

  1. -oh my goodness. You have certainly been through A LOT. We are saddened to hear you are still having some pain though. I know how frustrating that is after that many surgeries. I don't personally have experience with Orilissa, so hopefully some others can chime in. But did want to share some articles you may find helpful! https://endometriosis.net/living/orilissa-hot-flash https://endometriosis.net/clinical/treatment-options-2


    I also just wanted to say, you are such a warrior. I hope you do find the relief you are looking for. Hugging you. <3 -Kimberli (team member)

    1. I’m sorry to hear what your going through and know that your not alone. I have tried Orlissa it works a bit like depo-provera, but instead of having your ovaries totally turned off it works a bit like thermostat instead of a light switch. For me it did not work, but everyone is different. I did get hot flashes from it and night sweats but I wasn’t on it long enough to see other side effects.
      I always like to do research on medication and look at reviews. I hope it works for you like I said everyone is different
      Many blessings!
