I had one gynecologist tell me to my face that endo can’t grow and proceeded to look at me funny. Another told me that she could only prescribe Tylenol for my IUD placement. These make me laugh, lol
I was told to have a baby
I know if varies for each person, but how long did you take pain medications and how long was your recovery after excision surgery? I have an excision surgery and cystectomy coming up soon, and I am getting nervous about the amount of pain meds and recovery that may be involved. Is it worth it?
I was having issues with my endo. I was diagnosed later in life, but diet and supplements have reduced my period pain and other symptoms a lot. Main issue is that I still have severe gas pain during my… read more
Has anyone else gotten digestion pain where incisions are? Also after peeing right in the morning, I have stabbing pain on my right side. I’m 4 weeks post-op
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member thank you!!
Hi
I just had laparoscopic excision surgery in June 2023. I am about 8 weeks post op and I feel like i’m struggling with my body. Ever since surgery my body doesn’t feel the same. Even though the extended surgery belly decreased. My stomach area below my belly button (fupa area) always feels extended and I am uncomfortable in my body. I can’t tell if this is still surgery related. I feel like everytime I eat i’m constantly bloated and I feel pressure. I constantly feel that extended feeling in… read more
I’m currently 9 weeks post excision and hysterectomy, I still feel uncomfortable a lot of the time and struggle to be in a seated position for long (working at a desk) sometimes I feel bloated again… read more
I had surgery for severer endo that went undiagnosed for 15 years (always told it was bad cramps) and they put me on a low dosage of BC after to control my estrogen. 3 months in, it wasn't working, was still getting a period while on it so they switched me to nuva ring, again, didn't work, still bleeding. They put me on an aromotase inhibitor with progestrone, I've been on it for a month and once again, not working, got another period. I don't know what my options are? Am I just screwed… read more

Hi Heather7
I felt better after my d&c two weeks ago but after about 9 days my period came and pain has come back. BUT I will say I started using a pregnancy belt to support my pelvic area just by… read more
I need some advice. I’m 20 and I’ve been living with endometriosis and adenomyosis for as long as I can remember. I’m at the point where I’m socializing more (or will be, once life becomes more pre-COVID like) and I don’t want to have to avoid going out or going on dates anymore because of the wretched pain that comes with every period.
I’ve tried everything but marijuana, and honestly, nothing works, prescription meds, ibuprofen, Advil, Tylenol, heating pads, warm baths, staying hydrated… read more
I would not worry too much about what others think. Unfortunately, there are always people that will judge us , but true friends or partners will come to understand what you are going through. It… read more
I’m having a diagnostic laparoscopy done on Friday. Just wondering if anyone can tell me their experience. Maybe share some pre op and post op tips? I am SUPER anxious about having the surgery that I have barely slept the last few days
Also, when you talk to the anesthesiologist, you can request an anti-nausea patch to go behind your ear that lasts 72hours! Sometimes they don't do this unless you request it
Dihydrocodeine and paracetamol work very well for me. Also heat cream for when im out
At work and in so much pain!!!!!!
Does anyone feel that ibuprofen or Tylenol help??? My doctor keeps telling me to take both at the same time and it doesn't help whatsoever!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do!!! If you ask for anything stronger they think you're just a drug seeker 😡😡😡 this is so upsetting to me!
