Hi all,
I’m a newbie here but was hoping for some advice from you lovely lot.
About 18 months ago I had surgery to remove a large fibroid and during the surgery they found endo too which they removed. I was told in follow up appointment about 6 months later that I should go on the pill to reduce chances of it coming back, which I did for 6 months but I reacted really badly to it. I came off and was then told to have Mirena Coil fitted instead, but have been waiting for months for appointment for this as I have retroverted uterus so my consultant wanted someone he knew to do it because it would be tricky.
Anyway, I’m just freaking out a bit about whether endo could have come back in these times without any hormonal treatment. I’m symptom free but panicking about possible impact on fertility.
So questions to you all - can endo come back after surgery to remove it? If so, how quickly? Can it come back in a different place or would it just regrow in same spot? Will the coil stop it returning?
I know there are a lot of unknowns too but any info on impact on fertility of mild endo would be great too. Might sound silly but I’m worried that the delays in pill/coil would mean I could have increased chances of having fertility problems...
So many worries - why are bodies so complicated eh?
Thanks
Rachel
