I had surgery for endo 5 years ago. It wasn't by a true endo specialist, but she was pretty good and a lot of the severe pain went away. It's gotten worse over time, but I'm doing okay. I have flare-ups that are bad (not always related to my period) but I also have times when I'm doing pretty well. I do have a pretty constant pulling on my right side, though.

My worse symptom currently is hormonal. I have horrible pmdd/depression. I get my period every three weeks.

I am currently… read more

Hello, I had a myomectomy surgery in April 2022. Had fibroids and endometriosis removed at the time. My understaning is that I still have one fibroid left. Early June, I started to have bleeding issue. I let my surgeon know and he asked me to start on hormone pills called vasianne. I have been taking that pill ever since. The bleeding issue is still on going and it’s been on going everyday for about 11months already. My surgeon said this could be due to pcos. Has anyone experienced this before… read more

Ok, so my surgery date is coming up fast and I just have a few questions. My first question being, how long will it take me to really recover after a laparotomy? Has anyone else had minimal or no pain at all since a laparotomy? Also, was anyone else not able to get pregnant after a laparoscopy, but finally able to conceive after a laparotomy? Please I'd really appreciate some answers.

Hi everyone, I am due to have another laparoscopy due to severe pelvic pain and had one previously only six months ago. I am wondering if anyone knows if they'll use the same incisions as last time? Or will they go through different entry points?

Thanks! (From someone who doesnt want to add to the four incisions already on my abdomen hahaha)

My laparotomy was December 2nd and this past month I've been getting little episodes of little sharp jabs. They'll stop for hours and randomly return.

Any advice for a laparotomy? I have kissing ovaries and the cysts are too big for laparoscopic surgery. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for what to take or wear or what to avoid? I’m scheduled for next Monday. Thanks!

Ever since having my lap a month ago every morning I wake up with moderate bowel pain telling me I need to poop and it goes away straight afterwards. Not too worried about it it's just different for me. Anyone got any ideas?

Just recently been diagnosed with endometriosis. I have 2 large systs my consultant says they are the biggest hes seen for years and that they have been there for 5 years plus. Im booked in for a laprotomy just wondered if anyone has had this done and how is the pain after surgery?

I had a laparoscopy in April 2015. I was under for about 1 hour and the doctor didn't want to see me after...instead I was seen in mid-may. In which he told me my body didn't allow him to look inside. He tried several times to put the camera in but my stomach kept contracting and at some point he had to give up from trying. He says he's never seen this happen, and said my case was one in a million. Since then my pain is even worse then before. So questions are:

1) has anyone ever had this… read more
