I had a total hysterectomy and bowel resection 6months ago laparoscopically and was back at work after 4 weeks feeling great. Whilst I still feel great without endometriosis in my life my bowel isn't happy. I was warned I may experience urgency after the op but I haven't, in fact more the opposite. Without going in to too much graphic detail I Just wondered if anyone else has experienced difficulty after this type of surgery? I am being referred back to the bowel surgeon.

Hi the hysterectomy was done because of stage 4 and adenomyosis after attempts to relieve symptoms but everything was rather complicated with bowel implication. 2 surgeons performed op and I had a total resection as endo had penetrated bowel (was told too much longer I would have had an obstruction) it was my choice to have hysterectomy as so tired of dealing with it all for so long. I was advised to remove ovaries. I have been followed up very frequently and will continue to be so.
I feel great except for bowel discomfort.
