Prep for/Recovery from 1st Laparoscopic Surgery
Hello Everyone,
I've read through a few threads regarding this already (thank you all for so much useful information) but wondered if anyone had any experience specifically with using activated charcoal capsules to help better absorb the gas in the first week of recovery? I saw this mentioned as hugely helpful in a few youtube videos and blogs. Any other updated recovery tips, etc. are greatly appreciated, as well!
Thank you ALL in advance and wishing us all… read more
I don't know about the charcoal helping pain but it could definitely block absorption of oral pain meds.
Estrogen Levels after endometriosis surgery
So, I am 8 weeKS post op from my surgery to have surgical resection of endometriosis. And this surgery was for endo that returned 15 mths POST supracervical hysterectomy. I had severe endo all over again. They removed my cervical stump and all the endo. Prior to surgery my estrogen level was a 70 which some docs say is good for menopause. Some docs don't. My estrogen level had been around 65 to 70 for the entire 15 mths post hysterectomy. Well....now...8 weeks after… read more

I personally know a girl I went to high school with she has endometriosis on her liver, and her lung. She had a total hysterectomy a few years ago. It’s… read more
Laproscopy
I am having an exploratory lap in a couple of weeks. I am wondering if any of you ladies had a pelvic exam or some kind of exam before your lap. I find it strange bc the Mayo Clinic never put a finger on me or checked anything, not even weighed me. They are going by my history of reports & the ct scans that they took there. I am just curious about this. Any feed back would be helpful. The dr. never even looked at my stomach. I notice you can't see my belly button. I wonder if it is from too many… read more
Has anyone been involved in any research studies for endometriosis?
I’ve had 2 laps and been on hormone therapy already, and my doctor think my endo has recurred. He is wanting me to try some type of ring that is self inserted. Not sure how i feel about this.
BROWN BLEEDING
Been on birth control for 6 years. Never had a problem till I switched to SPRINTEC now I’m constantly bleeding brown blood all month with only a few days of a break and I get cramps too. My OBGYN changed my pills but I’m still having the same problem . I was diagnosed with Mild endometriosis and he says I don’t have Adenomyosis cause Of my age. Hematologist said I have no bleeding disorder, and my doctor claims I have no fibroids/cysts/polyps. Anyone know what could be causing this annoying… read more
