I am 33 years old and was diagnosed with stage 4 endo of the bowels in 2015. I have had one laparoscopy in 2015 and have been on Visanne since and thus haven't had my periods or been in any pain. I want to try and get pregnant this year, but I am very scared about the pain coming back and not being able to fall pregnant.

I didn’t spend years complaining to doctors and not being heard. I found out about my endo in the search for what caused hypertension which ended up being severe hydronephrosis of my left kidney. By this time I had a bunch of other far reaching symptoms and anomalies on my blood work.

You SHOULD doubt her expertise as she has none.
I recently had surgery for endometriosis and an drainage of ovarian cyst I had low interior bowel resection as my endometriosis bowel nodule was huge 11-12cms the surgeon thought the size was impressive I was just glad the thing was out as it was also pulling my uterus down
So is it normal that your first period after surgery should be heavy with large blood clots i didnt have that experience with a previous gynecological surgery of ovarian cyst removal
I'm just monitoring the bleeding and… read more
I didn’t have the same surgery, but did experience clots after mine.
I suggest checking in with your doctor to ease your mind if nothing else and keep monitoring :)
Hope your recovery goes well 💛
I've been reading about different types of hysterectomy. If you had a hysterectomy, what type did you have? What was your experience?
I'd like to keep my cervix if possible. Was anyone else able to keep theirs?
I had a partial Hysterectomy removable of the uterus and cervix at that time he explains that I would not be able to cancer.
