Hi I am 31 years old and was diagnosed with endo just over 3 years ago through surgery, they removed the endo that they found but 6 weeks after my surgery I was back to normal with bleeding and pain, in 2017 i was put on prostap injection which helped to stop my bleeding but didnt help with my pain,after having 5 prostap injection they put me back on cerazette tablets,and I'm currently on codydramol for pain but it doesn't help. It has been spoken about a few times about considering a full hysterectomy, I am very bless to have had 3 children one if which died at 7 months pregnant. I have been told that a hysterectomy may not work to help my endo, I was also told because I was on prostap and the pain continued that there is less of a chance of hysterectomy working,I have other health conditions which puts me at greater risk in surgery. I am feeling very lost at the moment the pain and bleeding is unbearable, with my two boys and husband I feel constantly guilty even though they are very good and understanding, can any one offer any advice please.

Hi Westlife I was on the prostap, it stopped my bleeding while I was it but I had bad side effects,they tried me on HRT patches while I was on prostap but I had really bad headaches from the HRT, I was bleeding for 3 months before prostap so the relief from that was good,I have been heavily bleeding again now for 3 weeks the pain in crazy, i am always asked to try different things everyone I go or just wait a bit longer so I get your frustrations,I'm seeing my consultant on the 15th so we will see, thank you for replying to my post, I hope you can get something sorted x

It's so hard to explain to others what we go through, it's nice to chat to someone who understands. Thank you take care x
