Things stuck together, doctor said leave it?

[MeganMae]

Hello Ladies! I had my first lap on 13th March (Friday 13th of all days!) I had to pull my follow up appointment forward by a few weeks.

He told me on the recovery table that I was Stage 3 and he removed what he could, I asked if he had untwisted my tube and if I could have children, he said he didn't untwist anything and I can conceive but I will find it hard.

However, at the follow up he then proceeded to tell me that it was 'only' stage 2 and my tubes were perfectly fine and not blocked or twisted.

However, one ovary is stuck to my bowel and the other stuck to the back of my womb.

Again, I asked about fertility, he said right now I am fine but he can't say what I will be like in 2/3 years. He doesn't want to do anymore surgery and left endo in there, he really was a cocky arse.

I'm worried if I leave it stuck together, will it get worse in 2 years? Affect my fertility?

My surgeon hasn't been any help and I read all I can on here but I'm at a loss now what to do

I would get referred on to an endo specialist on the bsge list for a 2nd opinion before deciding what else to do. If he left endo in place sounds like a generalist who doesnt understand endo. Good luck in getting sorted.

That's awful, you poor thing. I would suggest getting a second opinion from a specialised endo centre, especially as things are stuck together.

Check out Lindle's posts; she is so thorough in her explanations, and provides links on how to find an endo specialist.

Sending you big hugs and loads of luck X

Sorry to hear that! I got a second opinion, but my first obgyn/surgeon he tested for Endo did the lap no questions following hysterectomy. He excised it off burned off, didn't feel a thing recovery was ok, not mentioning traditional 1st hyst I had. But send Doc did the hyst found more Endo it comes back yr body is allergic to Estrogen our hormones. But do find a specialist on Endo I'm still searching just incase I have more I want a thorough check. I still have symptoms and surgery error!!! God help you on yr search
