Ovaries- stay or go?
Hi everyone. After over 30 years of pain and extreme bloating over the last two years, I’ve sadly no other option than to have a hysterectomy, I’ve been told. I’ve only ever had two laparoscopies in 2012. They’re reluctant to remove my ovaries, stating all the health related issues it can cause,

Having such a difficult time and not sure what to do
I had a
laparoscopy
in Sept 2021 after years of struggling with pain and periods. The surgeon said (pre op) there was a cyst on one ovary but didn’t think it was endometriosis but would remove and see if it helped.

0Fibroids
Hello all, I have Endo & have joined the long line of strong ladies waiting for a laproscopy. I had a scan 2 years ago and they discovered a fibroid. I have attended a webinair with a very interesting consultant regarding the connection between endo & fibroids. I understand that fibroids can grow.

Considerations before a hysterectomy
My consultant who performed my laproscophy said I could have a hysterectomy 1 year after my c section. (Private) I had a tube removed and endometriosis removed in my last lap. I thought there would be other treatments to explore first?! I'm 35. Finished my struggle to get my kids. Am in constant

Robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - PSA confirms microscopy after surgery
PSA, 7 weeks after surgery, was 0.01 ug/L. Recall microscopy after surgery reported the tumour was no longer prostate confined with capsular penetration and extension into periprostatic fat. Tumour extended very close to the posterior surgical margin but in none of the sections did it reach this margin

Suggestions for further testing
Hi all Have been silently reading posts for sometime now. Apologies for the long post in advance.. My story in short. Diagnosed with endometriosis and went through laproscopy in 2021.

How to be referred to endo specialist in Northern Ireland
Hi all, Just looking for some advice please… I have suspected endo after a few years of symptoms leading to a 7cm endometrioma being found on my left ovary. I’m now on the waiting list for a lap, to remove the cyst and deal with any other superficial endo they see…. I’m under a general gynaecologist

Common Symptoms.
I find it helpful when someone posts or replies with a symptom not included in the medical field's list that I do experience. Often with the comment I used to have this symptom prior to treatment. When Trigeminal neuralgia was mentioned a light went on for me and it was helpful to have a name for what

Suspected Endometriosis
They said it could be endometriosis but the only sure way to know is by having
laparoscopy
surgery. They said they hope to ease my symptoms instead of going down the surgery route to diagnose because of risks etc.

MRI scan
Hello, I posted a while back re symptoms consistent with endometriosis and difficulty getting a diagnosis. I recently had a gynae appointment (NHS), mentioned that I'm still having symptoms and asked if an MRI or other scan would help to identify the cause of said symptoms, but the response was that

7 months after Laparoscopy, still have thick brown discharge!! URGH. Why?!?
Hi, I had
laparoscopy
in May’22 to drain two endometrioma cysts inside my ovaries which lead my ovaries to grow from 2/3cm to 10cm, kissing ovaries they called them. 4 months after surgery I had a scan which revealed my ovaries looked ok but 2 new 6cm cysts had grown outside of my ovaries.

My 25th Parkrun
This morning I headed to Knowsley which is my local Parkrun - it’s two laps of undulating track, grass and muddy paths. I met our lovely running club there and there was a primary school who’s set up a stall with goodies for afterwards. I set off with a couple of friends and my legs felt a bit stiff

Diagnosed by ultrasound
The consultant has said they don't need to do a
laparoscopy
to confirm... To me this seems highly unusual as all my friends have had to have a
laparoscopy
to be diagnosed. Has anyone been diagnosed by ultrasound alone?

painful cramping
Hi everyone So, I had
laparoscopy
/laparotomy almost 4 weeks ago. Small patch of endo was found as well as adhesions. My bowel was stuck to my left falopian tube and womb which had to be separated and repaired.

Ultrasound & Laparoscopy
hi all, How many of you have had an ultrasound that did not show anything and then go on to have a
laparoscopy
which found endometriosis? My recent ultrasound apparently did not show anything. I am going to push for
laparoscopy
but I just wondered. Thanks Abbi

What would you do?
Hi everyone I'm just hoping for some advice. I have a lap booked in June with a general gynaecologist. It is purely diagnostic and won't be doing any excision so I would need another OP down the line. I've just had a long conversation with my GP who has endo herself. She is very firm on me getting the
