I'm having my follow up from my laparoscopy in a few weeks, with a consultant. I'm making a list of questions to take with me - does anyone have anything that would be useful to ask? Or something they wished they had asked?
Thank you!

Does increased exercise help? What sort of exercise? Should I avoid anything?
Last week, my partner and I had penetrative sex, which was painful as it always is – a few hours later, I was bleeding, which stopped a day later. What could have caused this? Should I be worried? Do I need further tests?
The surgery went ok - from what I could tell from my notes (the nurses were useless) it was on my POD, uterus ligaments, and ovarian fossa. They told me they burned it off, but I've not heard anything since.
