How quickly does it grow back?

[Jane781]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how quickly you should be scanned for regrowth? I have stage 4 Endo and my first ever laparoscopy in March 2019. I’ve never had a post op scan and starting two years later to get the old symptoms. Can it grow back that quick in your experience?

Thanks x

Hi I had surgery for stage 4. They say you have to come back every 2 years or so for surgery. This is considered normal. Though in my case I will never go back. One surgery ruined my life and I've managed to get better and navigate this alone without doctors for 5 years now and am much better off that way.

How have you been managing. I have an endometrioma but don’t want surgery till I’m ready for kids but don’t know what to do in the meantime.

It’s funny you say that as I get much worse pain since my first surgery! How have you made it better if you don’t mind me asking?
