Terrible period pain 2 months after lap

[Clarence80]

I am 34 and was finally diagnosed with Endo in Feb after having incredibly painful periods for over 18 years. I had my Lap at the beginning of April. The surgeon removed 2 large chocolate cysts and all scar tissue from my left ovary but found old scarring on my right fallopian tube. The only reason why I was referred to the hospital was because my partner and I had been trying for a baby for over a year so they didn't want to remove my fallopian tube.

I was told that my first period may be quite painful after but most posts Ive read on here are from women saying it was better for at least a few months and then the pain got worse. I've had one reasonably painful period already and am currently on Day 3 of my second period and I'm in agony! Could this be due to the fallopian tube scarring or just post-op sensitivity? Am taking Diclofenic suppositories and cocodamol but it's not helping much.

I know everyone suffers in different ways with this condition but I am now just very confused over why I'm in pain. I'm so worried that, despite removing a significant amount of tissue and cysts, the op may not have helped with the amount of pain I'm in every month and that I am back at square one again.

Would love to hear other people's experiences. Xx

Hi, had my lap in march and my last two periods were incredibly painful. I'm putting this down to my body recovering from the operation. If it's not improving then I would recommend that you try and get an appointment to talk about pain management. I'm thinking about getting a tens machine to help with the pain. Hope you find something that can help with the pain soon.
