Any ladies on here with scar endometriosis caused by a c section?

Just been diagnosed after suffering with a painful lump just above my c section scar. The lump is so painful the first half of my cycle and then feels better after ovulation.

oh no, that sounds awful. I haven't had a c-section but have had two laparotomies with the incision in the same area as a c-section. Something else to look forward to :/

have you been diagnosed via laparoscopy or is your doctor just quite sure it's endometriosis? I don't know what else it could be if it's linked to your cycle like that.

Hi! I had a scan with a consultant and it showed a 1cm mass in the abdominal wall. When I told how the lump changed with my cycle she straight away said it was due to my c section! Never had endometriosis before. I guess when taking my daughter out some 'tissue' got trapped and stitched up! I only noticed the lump a year later (very tiny) and then it seemed to get worse /grow each month. Was really bad this month, so hopefully will get it sorted ASAP! X

Hi

I have endometrosis in my laparoscopy/c section scar. It's getting bigger. Did you get it sorted? My gp has put me on progesterone only pill. I'm waiting for a scan as I'm getting urinary frequency and wondering if I have another ovarian cyst. I'm wondering if it could be scar Endo putting pressure on bladder.

Hi, there are very women with the same condition out there. Just wondered if the pill worked for you? Are you still in any pain? x
