3 Weeks post Lap/ablation period pains, and returning to crossfit...

3 Weeks Post Lap...

endometrial ablation and tubes removed and Endometrios

I went to A&E 9 days ago experiencing a different bleed (clots) and intense period pains I was given antibiotics.... the bleeding subsided and changed to what I was/am still having...

Yesterday I had intense period pains predominantly on left side which was one of my original symptoms...(feeling a little disheartened it's still there) as well as irregular heavy periods...

Today it's better......🤔

Also can anyone give advise on returning to Crossfit??

Maybe give yourself a little more time for your body to recover before starting intense exercise. I've heard it can take 3 months to fully settle. Try to not be disheartened, I know a lap may not seem very invasive but it still really takes a toll.

Maybe try doing less intense exercise first and work up to it. Dont push yourself too hard though.

Good luck x

Try walking and gradually build up your distance as you feel more comfortable, 6 weeks then try the gym but listen to your body don't overdo it. Good luck x

I was told to not do any exercise apart from gentle walking for 6 weeks. I’m 9 weeks post op and I did wait till 7/8 weeks to go back to the gym and classes.
