Vaginal cuff healing
Has anyone ever had a hysterectomy and/or their cervix removed due to endometriosis?? I am 3 weeks post op. At 2 weeks, i started having light bleeding and oozing of alot of yellow fluid. It would gush at times. Doc didn't seem time so concerned. The fluid thing lasted about a week and now I'm having alot of bladder pressure and twinges. All my organs are gone down there so is my bladder now sitting on top my vaginal cuff? Anyone have issues with this?
Does anyone experience lightheadedness/dizziness along with a heavy feeling before getting your period?
Before the real endo pain even started (about a year ago), I would feel this heaviness in my abdomen that was accompanied by extreme lightheadedness/dizziness and some anxiety a few days before and the first day of my period.

Burning near ribs
Hi all, I hope you’re well. I have been dealing with a lot health wise recently so I haven’t posted much. I was wondering whether anyone has had rib pain, almost sore to the touch, like a burning underneath the skin. It seems to come and go. I’ve noticed it since my laparoscopy in May. Just curious if others may know whether it could be endo related. Thank you!
I am not 100% but it could be nerve damage from the lap? I had it down one leg after mine, it went numb after a while and slowly the feeling came back… read more
Bladder Issues???
Hey! I've been on Lupron Depot now for just over a month. About 2 weeks ago I started noticing that my underwear were wet and smelled of ammonia. I thought at first it was vaginal discharge, but as I've come to realize it's urine.... I've never had real issues concerning a leaking bladder, and I'm not sure if Lupron can cause that... Please help!!! Is this something I bring up to my doctor???
Mirena helpful for mood swings?
Post-baby, I’m finding my period pain to be blessedly minimal - however, my premenstrual and day 1 mood swings are out of control.

Any experience with this sisters?
Popping sensation
I had a surgery for my endo back in 2015 and got a lot of scar tissue and such scrapped off and it has steadly been getting worse the last three years. Recently I have been having this weird pop feeling where my lady bits are and it kind of feels like pop corn for lack of a better term. I was just wondering if anyone knew what that was about?
