Diagnosed With Pituitary Microadenoma. Had Weight Loss. Discontinue Bromocryptine?

I have a long history to start with.On Jan,2010 i stopped having periods regularly i.e i had them in gap of 2 months.Earlier 2 that i had started going 2 the gym for weight loss.I did lose abt 10 kgs,but started having irreglar periods.Then on June 2010,i was diagnosed with Pituitary Microadenoma thru MRI,as along with irregular periods i was also having high bp and headaches.So then i was put on Bromocryptine which i continued for 6-7 months after which my prolactin was controlled and i felt better.The endocrinologist suggested me to discontinue Bromocryptine and started me on Thyronorm 25mcg as i had borderline thyroid issue.In the meantime i got married in 2011 and was still having irregular periods with no major problem.After trying for a year,i was unable 2 conceive therefore consulted a gynae who induced my periods and after that put me on Duphaston and Siphene which eventually did help me in regulating my periods since Dec,2011.But,From March 2012 i started having extremely painful and a bit heavier periods.It is so painful that i have to take voveran injections to get relief.Even Spasmoproxyvon caps did not work.Since then i have gone thru whole lots of tests,Transvaginal ultrasounds and even pap smear but to no avail as nothing cud be diagnosed.instead the doc just asked me 2 lose weight.Its been almost a year that im suffering from this horrible pain and no one seems 2 help me out.I too am working on weight loss but atleast sth shud be done abt the pain that i have 2 suffer every month.Now,this year has another story of my grief.In Jan 2013 i had normal periods on the 29th with no pain at all,not even slight bit.Then in feb,i missed my periods.But in march again i had normal periods but which lasted longer (7 days)than my usual periods(4-5 days) and interestingly i had no pain again.But this month of april has broken me completely as i had started feeling that everything is getting fine.On 28th April i did have my periods but for 5 days they were like hell 2 me as i had 2 take voveran injections twice daily for relief.I was almost feeling lyk dieing.and to make matters worse the pain is continuing even after my periods.Its been more than a week now post periods,but the pain doesnt seem 2 stop.I,m in pain right now also,as im writing 2 u.Another thing 2 mention is that the pain is not as severe as my period pain but enough to stop me from doing my normal activities.Before i forget let me mention 2 u the location of my pain.......it hurts me only on the right side of my pelvic area,lower right back and the lower right pubic area(i think where the ovaries seem 2 b),it goes to my thighs and legs as well.I think i've almost written an essay 2 u with hope to get answers 2 my queries and worries.If u would want 2 know something else also,please let me know.Please reply at the earliest.

Hi!. Thanks for the query to HCM. After going through you history
I feel your problem is not purely Gynaec. There may be an element of Urinary tract involvement. I suggest you see a Urologist also. Take care.
