Just a quick question

I had a dermoid cyst and tube removed about 2 and a bit years ago, now i am under the dr and gynae for possible endo, do you think this could be related? i have also had a sterillisation, then i got an infection from that and i have also had gallbladder removed. Thing is wouldn't they have seen endo while doing these other surgeries?

Not necessarily, not if they weren't looking for it. Tiny patches can often cause more pain than huge deposits and if they were in there for something else they could quite easily have been overlooked.

Good luck :) x

I had two operations for other things and endo was never seen as it was not looked for. It can be hard to spot by someone who is not an endo specialist. My specialist then found I had quite widespread endo. xx
