Endometriosis 13cm in my body

[FMohammed]

Hi,

I am new to this group. I just found out I have 13cm of endometriosis in my body around my ovary, inside my tummy and my tubes are blocked. I have been referred to the specialist to decide what they are going to do.

I just found out that I have it, but I would like to mention I had no symptoms. Only found out since I was trying for baby but I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t convincing. They said my chances of convincing is very slim since the endometriosis is blocking my tubes.

They have given my first injection to stop ovulation so the endometriosis doesn’t spread.

I have been really upset and can’t sleep thinking about it cause it’s really new to me specially when I want to have a baby. I have been told the only way I can have it through ivf.

I don’t know what stage I am at since I still need to meet the specialist. I just hope they don’t remove my ovary or tubes since I want a family. I can’t believe how it’s affecting me emotionally and mentally. I just hope I don’t need a open surgery, it’s just key hole.

Anyone else has been through something similar to this.

Please let me know. I don’t know who to talk to?

Hi there, I had a twenty centimetre ovarian cyst and I had to get the whole ovary removed and it was done as a Laparatomy as they decided it wouldn’t be safe if carried out just by keyhole surgery. I think it depends on the doctor etc so you might be able to get it done by Laprascopy. All the best with eveything x
