It's good that you're having a lap because if you do have endo it's very likely to be seen. Do you mind me asking if you're being treated at a BSGE centre? I was lucky because my local hospital is a BSGE centre X
No localish hospital only reason they have gave me lap is to remove tube cyst and left ovary and will look for endo. Gyna says he'd put money on me having it.
Do you mind me asking how old you are? Has your doctor explained why the removal of your ovary is necessary? X
I'm 36 most of that left ovary was removed 9 years ago as I had a dermoid cyst on it that was 10cm current one is 6cms. Also have a cyst on right ovary which is 3cm but he is going to conserve that ovary. No symptoms of anything else but I did have a raised ca125 so also had a ct scan x
Aside from the migraines I have identical symptoms. I'm 37 and I've been like this for a year or so. I never considered endo as my mum had it and was in agony whereas I am in pain when I have my period or I am ovulating, but it is not so bad that I can't manage. I was sent for a scan due to the heavy bleeding and they found a 5cm endo cyst. Then I had my lap two weeks ago and they found a lot of endo on both ovaries and all around my pelvis and abdomen. They fitted a Mirena coil and now I am just waiting to see if it helps before they consider any other treatment. My lap went smoothly and so did my recovery thankfully! They drained the cyst too but said it may well fill up again. Got my first period with the coil now and was very painful to begin with but has settled down after a few days and the bleeding is much lighter than before I had it.
