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
You don't have to be examined. Scans might be enough.
That just means that the scans were enough to tell them what they needed to know.
Thank you Dulce
They can't really tell from the outside sometimes they'll check by pushing on your tummy for sensitivity but they kinda have to go in to know. How many have you had? When was your last lap done? I guess age ( pre menopause, post menopause) and how progressed it was the last time they did s lap may play a roll. I've only had one Lap six years ago in on the waiting list for another one dont really understand why you can't see your belly button but it sounds like you've had a lot of surgeries?
I just did what my endo dr told me to do to help me with my endo situation
