ANY DOCTORS AROUND??? PLEASE HELP. need advice?


i was a normal healthy 19 year old girl. two years ago from today, i was in the hospital. i had mono, with hemophagocytic syndrome, which obviously led to many problems. i had ARDS, a mild staph infection, and i had some adrenal insufficiency. all due to the hemophagocytic syndrome. i was hospitalized for a month in the ICU. and i came out fine. no complications for two years now. well i did a follow up with my OB/GYN and my pap smear was abnormal but the tests came out neg. i had gotten normal periods after i got out of the hospital. no spotting in between periods, nothing that was "abnormal" to me. the last time i had my period was dec. 27th. and it was normal. i havent had a period since then. i had another pap done two weeks ago and its abnormal but tests are neg. i went in today for a pelvic ultrasound..they found no follicles on my ovaries. apparently my ovaries arent functioning.(no cysts) he also said there is an infection in my tube. but didnt gimme meds.

ive had no stds, or anything of that. been tested as far as i am concerned...all neg. he thinks it can possibly be from the stress of the illness i had. my periods were a little more lighter than usual. i just thought i was getting lucky!!! jk....but im a wreck. oooooh also ive been feeling really nauseous for the past few months now. since i havent had my period. i went for an endoscopy last week, im waiting on the results. but the doctor that did it apparently thinks is might be celiac disease. idk im 21 not 91, i just want to be normal and have kids. just someone gimme advice. i go to one of the top hospitals in chicago. and i think im going to get myself another opinion at another great hospital. just to be on the safe side.

*****also he found a cancerous lesion in my cervix. its nothing to be worried about right now, it just needs to be monitored....HELP!!!

I'm not a dr but I would like to help if I can because I have a number of gyn issues, some of them starting in my teens but not getting diagnosed til my 20s.

I would definitely suggest getting another opinion to rule out things like endometriosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (a hormone imbalance, to learn more check out: http://www.pcosupport.org).

As for the ultrasound, sometimes the results can be different one time from another depending on where in the cycle the woman is. This is why when a woman is going to get fertility treatments (just giving an example) they will do ultrasounds at certain times of her cycle to see what it's looking like when it comes to the follicles.

Also, as for the pap smear, I've had my paps show up infections of the cervix on two different occasions.

Also by getting a second opinion it helps you to not only cover all bases in order to make sure nothing is missed but also maybe give you additional ideas on treatment for the problems.

When you go to get that second opinion I recommend finding someone that is not sharing the same office as that of the dr you currently see.
