My 85 year old mum was diagnosed 4 weeks ago with psp. She's in a nursing home now and seems more comfortable reclined although the staff have a lap belt on her (which she hates) as she has been sliding out of chairs for the last few weeks. Her legs are constantly moving, does anyone have any advice/

Hello ladies. I am 2 weeks post my lap. I am healing well, no pain, but not so bouncy any more. Just wanted to ask you how long have you kept your incisions covered please? Mine are closed I think since there is no red tissue or open wounds just some scars like you have when your wound is healing. I

Hi, I had my surgery done a month yesterday and I’m getting worried as I had noticed my belly button was infected last week and was giving antibiotics, I’ve been taking them on time and I still have sore belly button and leaking also my left incision is looking infected it’s sore and weeping and outside

I've now had my follow-up appointment from a Laparoscopy and Salpingetomy that I had in June 2023 and had the following options from my practioner; 1. Try and have a baby naturally/IVF 2. Have a tablet to have a false pregnancy 3. Start my menopause.

Hi, I have my first laparoscopy almost 2 weeks ago, where they found and removed endometriosis. I have 3 incisions and the pain around these has been improving everyday so I was back at work after a week.

I am 21 diagnosed endo laparoscopy last year & had hormonal coil which is due for removal in December (I think it was containing my pain but now it isn’t)My pain is increasing dramatically so consultant has recommended implant or injections when coil is removed.

Hey everyone, I’ve just been for my pre op appointment all went well but I asked the nurse wether I could have my copper coil taken out and replaced with a Mirena during surgery and he said I’d have to speak to the surgeon about it on the day of surgery. This seems really last minute and kinda stresses

Hello ladies! Just wanted to ask if any of you have experienced this. I am a week post my surgery in which they removed my left ovary and all the endo they could find. I am healing well, i am not in pain just not so bouncy as before. The only think that is bothering me are the headaches..I ve had them

Hi everyone. Hoping to get some input from the collective experience and knowledge of the helpful people on this forum in making a decision on course of treatment. I apologize for length of post, but, with two issues (prostate and kidney) it took a bit to accurately explain. Newly diagnosed with Prostate

Hey! Are there any good endo centres in UK (NHS, or private) where endo is addressed holistically? What I mean by this - where train clinical nutritionist are included in the management plan, as well as endo trained pelvic floor physios. I'm not looking for some hocus-pocus approach, but also not keen

I've been seeing my GP since February 2022 and even after my laparoscopy and diagnosis of endo in Feb 2023 I've not had much support or help other than them sending me to physio and getting the depovera jag that's not helping they also have said I don't need a gynecologist and havnt seen on since my

hi all! I had my endo removed via laparoscopic surgery 21/11/2023 - over the last few days the pain in my left side has been awful / is it normal to go and come back? I don’t belive this is Endo pain as it sharp, breath taking?! Who do I call? My doctors, the surgeon or is this normal:( thanks

Is it the Fibroid causing all of this and do I need a Laparoscopy after all? Thank you if you got this far 💕

She said (her words, not mine) that the only way to tell if I have endo, is if I have a Laparoscopy. I have been expedited for this. Has anyone experienced anything similar. I am just so confused now. Is it the Fibroid causing all of this and do I need a Laparoscopy after all?

Hello ladies. I am 3 days post my surgery in which they took out my left ovary and excised all the endo they coud find. Now i am not in a lot of pain but i cannot poo, it is killing me. It is already the fourth day i haven't empty my bowels and i feel i need to go but when i am there i cannot push it

Also my incisions from laparoscopy hurt. Or could the estrogen I’m taking be flaring my endo even if pregnant? I heard pregnancy means no endo symptoms so that’s where I’m drawing the ‘period is coming’ from - I don’t have major cramps or anything.

I had my endometriosis diagnosis this week through a laparoscopy. It's been a long fight to get to this point so I feel relief that I finally have a diagnosis.

does anyone get anxiety about this procedure? I feel like it’s just me

hello everyone, I recently had my second laparoscopy on the 27th July and they removed endo, adhesions and scar tissue. I’ve been recovering and the first couple of days I had bleeding which was said to be expected.
