It can vary by Individual and type of endo and type of surgery ( some have higher recurrence risk than others) . Not all people get recurrence, some experience other pain like adhesions or nerve damage pain and some do unfortunately get recurrence. These articles on recurrence may be of interest.

I've had two laps and excision of endo within a year and they were found in different areas. I had been on mirena, cerazette and zoladex in between

I had excision with removal of bilateral endometriomas in November last year. An ultrasound scan recently showed regrowth of endometriomas in both ovaries once again.

I had my op 7 weeks ago, my incisions are fully healed, and that's my point exactly, I'm starting to feel it all under my pelvic area like before 😫 xx

Have you been back to the doctors surgeons and discussed it

in reply to Free-dom

I haven't seen my surgeon since my op. I can't see him till the end of September, but I take naproxen for the pain so it usually controls it x
