3 weeks post lap
I had a
laparoscopy
3 weeks ago. They described the surgery as significant abdominal surgery. The surgeon said you could barely see my pelvis through the vast amount of adhesions which were sticking my bowel, bladder, uterus and ovaries together.

6 weeks post op and still really sore?
Has anybody been in this position? My stomach is tender to touch and sore. This is my second lap and I am so surprised at the difference between my first and the last. The only surgery difference I can tell from my notes is my bladder was involved this time.I had 5 keyholes, my bellybutton one was big

1.5 years post lap
Hi everyone,I had my first diagnostic
laparoscopy
1 year and 6 months ago. They found Endometriosis and removed it. After the lap, my periods were more manageable, I was actually able to leave the house during my periods, something I'd not been able to do for soooo long!

can’t have surgery until lost weight?
I’m having to have a diagnostic
laparoscopy
. I’ve had to switch consultants and was asked by waiting lists my height and weight and was told depending on my BMI the surgeon might not do it. I’m currently on the Depo and I feel it makes me gain weight easily.

Just popping in with Easter Greetings!
All, I haven't had much chance to look at the forum lately so thought I'd pop in now and wish everyone a Happy Easter! Things have been busy - mostly in a good way but also had two funerals (one expected and one sudden death of a young man well known to our family), and several short notice hospital

Understanding the source of my pain.
Hi everyone, I'm having difficulty assessing the source of my pain and am seeking clarification from anyone who can help. First, the good news: As of yesterday and today, most of my pain is gone. It's been nine days since I raised my prednisone from 20mg to 25mg. I had been worried that 25mg was not

Surgery booked but worried
I’ve been fortunate enough to have been booked in for my first diagnostic
laparoscopy
in two weeks time. I’m so glad it’s finally getting done as I’ve been suffering for 8 years with bad periods and pelvic pain. However, I’m just so so scared they are not going to find anything.

So many questions regards diagnostic laparoscopy
Hello lovely people,I had an appointment with the Endo doctor last week and she suggested going for a diagnostic
laparoscopy
as she suspects I have superficial endometriosis as my ultrasounds were showing only hydrosalpinx that don't justify my symptoms.

is fibrotic adhesion related to endo or surgery or both
got my mri results and had a lap in november 2022 where endo nodule was found on the utersacral ligament and superficial endo in left side of POD. Had a mri and it shows fibrotic adhesion between the uterus and sigmoid right side and left ovary could be adherent to uterus. However it states at the end

Some hope!
I had a
laparoscopy
which made a big difference to the pain and after 18 months of trying, fell pregnant naturally. Fast forward a few years, I have a beautiful son and barely any symptoms. What can make my endo flare? definitely diet. Sugar and alcohol predominantly.

Finally received Endo diagnosis following laparoscopy... advice/support for next steps please!
Hi Everyone, I had investigative
laparoscopy
surgery back in October this year. I finally had my endometriosis diagnosed (it's only taken 18 years, for someone to truly listen), it was removed along with scarring and I had a mirena coil fitted.

'Completely normal' laparoscopy, could I still have endo?
I had a diagnostic
laparoscopy
done at the beginning of April as a Gynecological Consultant suspected endo. My surgery was done by a general gynaecologist, and her findings were "no abnormality seen or gynae pathology".

lap yesterday!
5 years and yesterday finally got the answers for my pain. Endometriosis found. My surgeon also mentioned adhesions? And my appendix was fused to scar tissue. Just wondering if anyone else has had this? What a mix of emotions I’m feeling today. It wasn’t just a bad period, can painkillers keep the pain

No period and negative tests
Hi Guys, After 10 long years, 3 years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had a
laparoscopy
not long after. In a follow up appointment I was told I should start think about having children soon if I wanted them.

Finally someone has listened!
So he has booked me for a
laparoscopy
and MRI scan. I am just so happy someone has listened to me after all these years. I am having to have so much time off work due to a lot of bowel problems and so much pain. Is anyone in the same position with work?

Awaiting a lap. Is it worth paying privately for an mri?
I'm awaiting a lap, but I have no idea of how long I will wait. I was originally told I had fibroids in Oct 22, causing my pelvic pain and associated issues. My scans, however, were clear. The consultant said she could feel 2 on exam. I have seen a private consultant who has disagreed with this and

Anyone treated Endo successfully using holistic medicine??
Having seen an endo surgeon, he said, from looking at my ultrasound results, it is likely that given I am 40 and dont want any kids, the best bet (pending a
laparoscopy
to confirm), a hysterectomy may be the best option at this point.

Post laparoscopy emotional
is it normal to be emotional after having the
laparoscopy
? I have had an endometriosis cyst removed and lots of endometriosis tissue a few weeks ago but I feel really emotional which is not like me at all. Any help would be appreciated:)

Just past the 6 week point after laparoscopy excision surgery for Endo. Still spotting with fresh and brown blood most days.
I am struggling to wear things like jeans but not a big issue, feeling much more mobile and better, don't think there is signs of infection.I did catch that horrible flu virus going so my inflammation levels were up for a good few weeks. I am taking Degesteral mini pill. Is this normal and just wondering
