What happens now?

Hi everyone,

I had my first lap yesterday and been signed off for a week. They lasered off some endo from the pouch of Douglas but I have now been discharged from the gynaecology unit. Is there a referral system to manage endo or am I just expected to ask for another referral when the pain returns?

I think it was only a small amount so can't be that serious but I am also infertile.

just because it was a small amount doesn't mean its not serious, and apparently having it in the pouch of douglas makes it more serious. keep a diary still of symptoms, so at least if the pain returns you can go back to your doctor and get referred back easily xx
