4 surgeries in the past year!!!

[Shanette77]

I have ovarian remnant syndrome. To make a long story short(kinda). This last surgery was a laparotomy so he could get all the pieces of ovary left. I must add I have adhesions and scar tissue well of course from previous surgeries as well as endometriosis. He told my husband immediately after surgery I’ll probably need another one in 6 months or so. I go to my post op appt. and he explained to me that there is a piece of ovary he left and that I’ll eventually need another surgery. And “that’s all he can really do for me” I left that appt so angry, hurt and confused.

I have no ovaries (well just the piece) and had a hysterectomy. Yet I have not gone into surgical menopause, and my pain is becoming unbearable. I’m 5 weeks post op and it still leaves me in excruciating pain every time I empty my bladder. Please give me some advice.

Hi Shanette77

Have you tried seeing a different consultant to see if they agree with whats been done? They may offer an alternative to help you reduce the pain.

If you do need to talk to anyone our helpline is available: endometriosis-uk.org/helpline

I hope you manage to get things sorted
