I had a hysterectomy in 2011 but kept my ovaries. But Oct 2020 i had them removed. Can I still get cyst and endo even though it's all been removed?

I’m not sure about the cyst but from what I have heard yea endometriosis can develop in other areas even after hysterectomy 😵 which is utterly crazy.

Unless all endo is throughly removed yes you can get endo after a hyster and ovaries out. Endo can feed itself and hrt can also feed it. I’ve had 3 more excision laps since I had hyster and ovaries out and I’m on combined hrt. Just v unlucky.

Then you need some progesterone too - utrogestan us a good one ti add. Otherwise you’re just going to feed endo and itvwilll keep grow8b
