Finally had laparoscopy

Hi everyone, haven't been on here in awhile. Any I had a laparoscopy done on Friday and endo finally confirmed. Consultant removed most of it but not all of I as apparently there was to much. Talk of putting me on injections to mimic menopause and putting me on hurt. If that works looking to make it a more permanent solution with a hysterectomy, leaving my ovaries and continuing with the injections and hrt.

After lap I find I'm bleeding, it started off spotting but now it's increased. Is this normal?

I had this treatment after having stage 5 Endo removed In Feb. The injections put you into a temporary menopause, I experienced hot flashes, mood swings and no periods (which was a nice change). I had HRT to help with the side affects which eased them but didn't help much. I'm surprised they have said they'll do a hysterectomy as I was told this doesn't help because the hormones still continue so the Endo will grow back anyway.

I agree with Lindle, you may need to chase for an Endo specialist to review your case as general gynae aren't as skilled in this area.
