Bear with me, it's a bit long
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endo and had an excision surgery, two years ago I had a total hysterectomy but both of my ovaries are still there.

Hi Kristen, may I ask if you don't mind sharing if the removal of your ovaries helped with your endo pain? Thank you so much. I wish you pain free days
I had two surgeries to clear out the endo just trying to buy time. I was also stage 4. I had a full hysterectomy because my ovaries were fused to my pelvic wall. They too were unable to get it all because it was on my intestines etc. I am now in pre-menopause which is only “pre” because I take estradiol. I get hot flashes, night sweats, and beyond. I have major fatigue and hardly sleep at night either. It turned out I have a thyroid problem (which I didn’t have before the hysterectomy.). In my opinion it sounds as though your ovaries aren’t producing estrogen or enough estrogen so it’s thrown you into either “pre” or just menopause. Btw I was in my 30s when the menopause stuff started. You should have your thyroid checked. Just bloodwork. Good luck! Feel better. Thorne Methyl-Guard has helped a lot with energy!!
