I was first diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 22 years old, at that time I had to have surgery to remove the endometriosis cyst because it had spread to my appendix, a few months after the operation I was pregnant with my first child and 2 years later my second child was born, I gave birth to my two children by caesarean section, 14 years later, September 2021, I felt very sick during my period, and the pain persisted even when my period was over, I had to take the pain reliever ibuprofen, I decided to go to the doctor and after being examined it turns out that the endometriosis cells have entered the muscle tissue of my uterus, yes I am positive for adenomyosis, the doctor advised me to use the Mirena IUD, but after almost a week, I still feel pain that comes and goes every day, and I am still dependent on Ibuprofen, i also read that mirena iud works slowly and the effect will only be an effective 3 to 6 months later

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member yes i do understand the difference, at first i was diagnosed with endometriosis when i was 22, the doctor got them removed, but i don't know how it ends up get into my uterus muscle
after 14 years, i have read that may have something to do with the caesarean delivery process, because I gave birth to my two children by caesarean section

Sadly, yes. I've had a complete hysterectomy and I am.dealing with endo now. I had a good 8 to 10 year break about 5 years ago. Prayers for you.

I forgot to say that when I had to have the emergency surgery my gyno had me have a full hysterectomy due to the endo and all the webbing it did and was connected to. The pain that I feel most is on my lower left side.
Also I never got the chance to have any kids, I wasn't given the option.
But thank yu for yu answering me, appreciate it.
