Suspected endo due to have lap

Hi if they burn the endo off it will definitely come back. You need excision surgery. Have a look on the BSGE website and find a specialist near you. Then get referral to them from GP. These centres are NHS and are there specifically to help women with endo. Their surgeons are more qualified and more experienced than a general gynaecologist.

Hello Kay, good news you've finally got someone to help! I've been very fortunate in that my gp referred me quickly when I went with constant periods, the pain I had experienced for a few years, I thought was normal and/or because I was doing too much! I now know it to be endo pain which is some sort of relief . I had lap, hystoscopy and cystectomy a couple of weeks ago, everything happened for me within 3 months but I have found it very overwhelming and am quite upset about everything. Immediately Following my keyhole surgery my consultant told me my bladder and bowel had stuck to uterus I think and I know need open surgery. The whole thing scares the hell out of me and I've been put on zoladex injections for 3 months which so far don't seem to be agreeing with me at all! Still.... Onwards and upwards as they say! It sounds as though they probably will find something and hopefully they'll be able to sort it out for you. Three months ago, I had no idea all this was happening inside me...... Fingers crossed for you xxx

In having my first lap too (booked for Thursday morning eek!)so I know how you feel in regards to panic that they won't find anything! It's scary if they do and scary if they don't, I'm finding it quite overwhelming. I think we're at least going to get some answers and can move forward after the lap with at least some more information so have to look at the positives. I have been worrying about time off work as in self employed but my partner always tells me 'Your health is your wealth' and I think he is right. Good luck with your lap, if you need to compare notes il be in same boat
