Mine came back really fast after excision surgery too. It turned out I had really bad gut dysbiosis and that was feeding it. Once I treated my SIBO my pain decreased. I didn’t even think my gut issues were that bad, I would get constipated for a day a few times per month and would occasionally get bloated, making me look pregnant. It was at the bottom of my list of issues when I went to a new naturopath but thankfully she knew that was the root cause of my pain.

Mine also came back, but in a different area and came back pretty badly. My OBGYN initially wanted to just do medical treatments - birth control plus IUD, then IUD plus Orilissa, but none of it was enough. So she referred me to a specialist. If you have pain that's come back or increasing after, be open and honest. It means it's either back or your current treatment isn't right. After my most recent excision, I still had to go back on hormone therapies after only six months (birth control AND IUD). but that made a MASSIVE difference. Are you on anything at all since surgery?

The scan picked up the endometrioma cyst - it wouldn't have picked up the endometriosis tisue.

I thought scans didn’t pick up endometriosis tissue? What kind of scan was it?

I had a scan a couple of months after my surgery and my endometrioma had returned.
