Pain came back - not in same way at all. Uncomfortable sometimes/twinges that I can ignore (mostly) after about 2 years but nothing requiring seeing Dr/consultant at all.
Pain free - 4 years
How many laps - one only. Didn't have diagnostic as consultant was sure I had endo and so I had excision at the same time. Biopsys taken during the lap confirmed endo.
Hysterectomy - no
Oopherectomy - no. Lost half of right ovary in lap due to chocolate cyst and endo damage.
Pain came back: 2 months later for bowel symptoms but pain felt different, started getting diaphragmatic endo symptoms 4 months after which I never had before and this gets progressively worse every month since.
pain free : 16 months - wouldn't say pain free but period pains are definitely a lot less intense than they were pre-excision. No pain during intercourse or orgasm at all since excision.
how many laps: 2 - one diagnostic and one excision.
Pain came back: not enough to warrant revisiting consultant
pain free: I'm as pain free as I think I can be. Overall the pain was greatly relieved. Now more like odd twinges and a bit of cramping 12 months later. Still have really bad back/hip pain but specialist believes it's unrelated :/. I had the Mirena inserted during lap.
