Lap for endometriosis. Results

[Gemmaxe]

Hey just thought I would write an update after my surgery. I am currently laid up recovering as I had my laparoscopy yesterday. All the doctors/gynos etc I have seen during trying to get a diagnosis for my pain all pointed to endometriosis and they were almost 100% that was what I had. Well I had the lap turns out theres no endometriosis at all and I had some adhesions in my abdomen area and they discovered I have polycystic ovaries ... I'm glad they found a reason for the pain as my worst fear was them finding nothing and thinking it was all in my head. But there you go I was positive it would be endometriosis and now need to research about polycystic ovaries. But for anyone worrying the lap wasn't bad. Home a few hours later. Got some discomfort but that's expected.

hey I had my appendix removed about 3 years ago so have had surgery before and went back to work far too early with that causing more pain after I thought I was healing so it is possible as I've had on off pain with that when moving and stretching when my appendix was. I don't believe it is from biopsy but I think I would love for it not to be endometriosis so I'm crossing my fingers with that one. Awaiting a follow up app. thanks for your reply x

I'm with you. My first lap showed nothing regardless of my pain. But they never did biopsies. I was still in severe near daily pain for 5 more years before I was finally diagnosed with stage 3 endo. I bet it was microscopic at the time of the first lap. :/

Also, aren't adhesions mostly caused from endo bleeding all the time??
