Second lap in 3 weeks, help with post surgery care

[Vincentcat]

Hi ladies.

I would just love your input on supplements or medications that will help my recovery and minimising scar tissue after my surgery. I've researched sperrapteptase for dissolving scar tissue but from what I've read it says it's only used for inflammation and can interfere with blood clotting so isn't advised post surgery, any insights?

Also, I've had the prostap injection before and didn't have a great experience, but I don't know if I should give it a go post surgery to stop things growing back so quickly, anyone done this? I had livial alongside last time and it gave me headaches, anyone used a different HRTand not had this experience?

Thanks xxx

hi. It sounds like you've been really through it. The only advice I can really offer for recovery is plenty of rest, after my first op I was back to work in 3 weeks and I never really felt well. I had a further surgery 9months later and had stopped working for it ( I'm self employed and arranged 12 weeks off) and I was feeling better so much quicker after giving myself the time to recover. After the second op I had prostap to give my body time to heal. For me it worked really well, I was lucky to have very few side effects and the 6 months without the pain was brilliant. Even when I came off it my cycles were much better.

in addition i followed the Endo diet, strictly to start with and then experimented with what I can / can't tolerate.

hope you're recover goes well. Xx

I took Arnica tablets after my surgery and I'm sure they helped.
