Hi, I'm really scared. I'm 26 and have just been referred to a gynaeco logist in case I have endometriosis. Firstly I'm terrified it will affect my fertility. I really would love children and we are planning to try next summer after our wedding. Secondly I really don't want a man examining me down 'there.' It's not too uncomfortable when a woman does it but i reckon i'll tense right up when a male doctor does. I'm frightened it will really hurt but apparently this guy is an expert in it. Finally i may need a laparoscopy which i hate the idea of too!! Can anyone give any advice please?
