Endo post surgery - Annual Checks?

[sonja18]

Hi ladies,

after being diagnosed with endometriosis and having surgery, it seems I have some endometrioma cysts coming back. I was wondering if you are having annual scans and check ups? I checked with my GP but her approach seems to be always to wait until I am in pain or something bad happens and then she will refer me instead of having annual checks. I also have private insurance but I also need my GPs referral of course. I really want to have these annual checks to see when I will need surgery again, review medication etc...

Many thanks for your advise, I am so lost

Hi Sonja

I’ve never been offered annual checks but have had a few scans when I’ve gone to the gp with new pain. I’ve just said it feels like when I had a cyst and they’ve referred me quite easily.
