2nd Laparosopic Surgery Coming Up
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi
I had my first surgery four years ago, got relief for 2 years now I am back to having debilitating pain. Saw my specialist and he has diagnosed me with adneomyosis, and possible reoccurring endometriosis, I thought it rarely comes back? Should I be worried about having another surgery, I just want the pain to stop or give me a break so I can live

Endo Diet
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been diagnosed with endo and had the scope with laser to remove the cells a year ago. I’ve been using bc as a hormone therapy for a long time. I’ve been doing research into holistic remedies along with medication. Has anyone looked into changing diet/a special diet? Any advice or things that worked?

Check out Dr Sandra Cabot’s on line book on Endometriosis. Change in diet can make a massive difference. A Gluten free & Dairy free helps a lot with pain :))

I had a laproscopy to diagnose/remove endo tissue mid October 23. I just fell skiing on Jan 13th and started spotting/light bleeding on the 15th only 5 days after my period (which had lasted 13 days). Should I be concerned or am I jumping to conclusions? My right ovarie area is really hurting.
