Importance of second or more opinions

Last year a cyst was detected in my left ovary. It was over 4 centimeters. After it was confirmed that it was an endometrioma and I was subsequently diagnosed with endometriosis, my doctor wanted to operate me right away. She told me that, even if it had not grown between the first echography (the one that detected it) and the second (the one that confirmed it), it wasn’t going to go away, so they had to remove it.

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,
My name is Sónia, I’m 31, diagnosed two years ago but probably suffering from this disease since my late teens, early twenties.
What is so frustrating and puzzling about multiple sclerosis is that symptoms can be so varied, and what seems to work for someone doesn’t necessarily work for someone else.
I will probably be contributing more and more with time, as I’ve been reading and investigating and trying so many things since my diagnosis. But, for now, my two cents will be about something really simple that seems to be working for me.
