Hello all! I requested all my records from my gyn to get a better look at my history - my surgery was in 2013 so I am a little rusty now. Anyway, I was never given an actual stage after my surgery and I am not seeing it on my records either. Due to my returning pain, I wanted to re familiarize myself with my surgery...because we all know post surgery is a drugged up haze!

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member mine was very painful. I had a smaller one years before and when it burst I could barely walk. But the bigger one was a nagging pain, sometimes a shooting pain. Very seldomly had a reprieve.
What was your pain like with the endometrioma? I have bilateral ones. 1 is 6.5cm and the other one is 4cm. They're stuck to my uterus and stuck to each other, kissing ovaries.
I wasn't told what stage my endo was either, but I was told the endometrioma was "the size of a large grapefruit" when they removed it. You could see it under my skin if I laid down. It completely destroyed my right ovary and tube and had overtaken my appendix and was attacking my ureter. It was trying to kill me.
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member Hi lovely! I am doing better, thank you for asking! I am still close to my heating pad at night but better <3 how are you!?
