Anxiety and Endometriosis.

So I'm currently awaiting a Laparoscopy. I've had my pre assessment. I've previously had a Laparoscopy in March last year which revealed nothing, and I was discharged by Gynae. I then had a Pelvic MRI in September which revealed a very different picture.So I'm currently awaiting a Laparoscopy. I've had my pre assessment.

Laparoscopy

Hey ladies I’m super nervous, my laparoscopy for endo is coming up and I really couldn’t be more nervous. I’m scared they’re just gonna tell me I’m being dramatic and there’s nothing wrong - but I’m in unbearable pain just starting to doubt myself. Has anyone got any tips to calm me down?Hey ladies I’m super nervous, my laparoscopy for endo is coming up and I really couldn’t be more nervous.

Laparoscopy notes

Had my first laparoscopy in July and was diagnosed with endo. A friend of a friend is about to undergo her first one, with suspected endometriosis so I wrote her an email with tips/advice from my experience. Thought I’d post it just on the off chance that it may help anyone else.Had my first laparoscopy in July and was diagnosed with endo.

Endometriosis - chances of reccurence?

I recently had a laparoscopy where scar tissue was removed and a biopsy has confirmed that I have Endometriosis. I've not yet had my follow up appointment but was wondering what experience that people have had with the recurrence of their symptoms after a laparoscopy?I recently had a laparoscopy where scar tissue was removed and a biopsy has confirmed that I have Endometriosis.

advice on questions I need to ask before a lap!

He and I are both expecting to see endometriosis due to my symptoms and he predicted I will have this ultrasound then a laparoscopy - are there any questions I need to make sure I ask regarding the laparoscopy/ anything else?! Worried I will forget to ask something important.He and I are both expecting to see endometriosis due to my symptoms and he predicted I will have this ultrasound then a laparoscopy - are there any questions I need to make sure I ask regarding the laparoscopy/ anything else?!

Finally saw gynaecology consultant

So I saw gynae consultant today and going by symptoms I told him about, he recommended diagnostic laparoscopy. In the strangest way I really hope they find something that explains the symptoms and pain!So I saw gynae consultant today and going by symptoms I told him about, he recommended diagnostic laparoscopy.
