I had a total hyterectomy/overectomy about 10 yrs ago. I was fine for several yrs and thought wow, I feel great (not so great with the hormones) but no more pain.
Now in the last couple of yrs, I have some of the same symptoms. I don't (think) the endo has come back but I do think I have adhesions which are causing some urinary problems I had when I had endo. Hell, they didn't even know it was endo until they got in there. A 20 min OP lasted two hrs...dummies didn't do well enough during the exploritory. Supposed to have a 4 in scar but it goes from hip to hip on me. Had some trouble with hormones which was the Dr's fault giving me some that was full of testosterone and made my hair fall out among other things. All I know is that even through all this, I would do it again, casue the pain I had before was too much after two yrs of it. Good luck and best wishes to you ladies. I sure hope you all can over come or at least get to where you can stand it and live better lives. I know I will have to go in eventualy about the adhesions (God help me if it has come back) |

Well my surgery helped but however the endo is back... not sure I want to do another surgery to have it come back...this late in life. ive had about 6 surgerys, and the more times they go in the more damage they are doing, ive got so much scar tissue and adhesions now, because they have operated so many times, and the worst of it, all the operations failed, so now im worse off because ive got endometriosis, a lot of scar tissue and adhesions. if i hadnt of had all that surgery i wouldnt have so much scar tissue, so my advice is, only have it done if its really necessary. some of the surgery i had no choice about because they found a huge mass, i had cancer tests etc, a week later they operated and i had a large choclate cyst. looking back i wish i hadnt have had all of those ops, because they have caused more problems and my pain is worse than ever now, due to the scar tissue nd adhesions and endo. plus mine has spread to my bowells and twisted then. for me theres no more they can do. this isnt the case with everyone. 
I am very sorry Debbie. I would say I feel your pain, but that is only to a certain extent. I think I may end up having a hysterectomy. Just too many problems. i will at some point have a hysterectomy, but ill still be in chronic pain because i have bladder problems and the endo is on my bladder and bowells to |

They didnt believe me until I had my c-section and there it was. i see. they found mine my doing a laparoscopy, ive had lots of those and its made my pain worse, as ive got a load of scar tissue, and along with adhesions and scar tiisue and endo the pain becomes unbearable. im sick to death with it, i really am. i dont know how much more i can take. |
