re-occurrent endo?? Laparoscopy x2

[Coolcatandkittens]

Hi guys, I posted around this time last year when I had my first laparoscopy where my surgeon discovered I had endometriosis. I’m now due to have another operation in a couple of weeks time after having the same symptoms just coming back being just as debilitating. I’m very fortunate to have private health insurance and this time round, I have gone to an endometriosis specialist however, I’m feeling mixture of emotions at the moment. My surgeon thinks my pain could either be my endometriosis has grown back or that my endometriosis was never removed properly or something completely different entirely. I’m feeling a bit uncertain I’m starting to doubt myself I feel like sometimes it’s in my head when I know it’s not (if that makes any sense). I’m just feeling a little bit lonely and worried.. have any of you lovely ladies had any experiences of having a second laparoscopy or reoccurrent endometriosis?

I don’t know what I hope to gain from this post and know I’ve rambled but just sometimes feels so so isolating.. 🥺😔

I've just had my 2nd lap for excision around a month ago. I think it's relatively common to have multiple laps and for endo to reoccur - especially if it wasn't all removed the first time round!

Good luck with your Lap - I hope you feel better afterwards x

Thankyou for your reply. I had my 2nd lap yesterday and they found endometriosis again and excised it. I started to feel like I was going crazy but I’m so glad I followed my gut instinct x

Do you know where you had endo last time and what was done - does the discharge note say?

Hello Thankyou for your reply. My first surgeon never said on the discharge note, he was very brief. Had my 2nd laparoscopy yesterday with an endometriosis specialist who found endo and excised it successfully
