I've not got a success story but just wanted to say I'm in the same situation. Although surgeon was supposed to have excised all endo it appears this wasn't the case. Seeking a second opinion as he now refuses to help.

Hi, yes I do have it, except my gyne called it the pouch of Douglas, it used to hurt going to the toilet. After my lap it did not hurt so much and now I can actually go for a number two without crying.

So hold you head high there is some light at the end of the tunnel ♥️

Do you have fatigue or pain with sex as well?

Yes! Non stop! After my op I haven't had any pain. It's been 8months (6months on prostap) and the pain is trickling back but it's been nice not to have that pain for a while!

😊
