Experiences with

Laparoscopy

hello! I have recently been diagnosed with severe pelvic endometriosis after years of fighting. My diagnosis was given to me by post 5 days after I was discharged following an ex lap and womb ablation! I have since had an mri and am awaiting a sigmoidoscopy. The consultants are being very vague and

hi I was diagnosed with stage 1A grade 2-3? They are not sure exactly ?! Endometrial cancer. On June 1 this year. I had a total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in July of this year . I have recuperated well from surgery . I’m now undergoing vaginal brachytherapy . Had my first treatment so far so good

hi, I’m due my first period after my laparoscopy this week; just wondered what your experiences were? I’m really anxious about everything at the moment. Thank you 😊

When we discussed these results, he suggested trying for a baby (as I had said me and my partner were ready) he told me to try for 8-10 months and if we weren’t successful then the next thing to consider would be another laparoscopy (I’ve had 2 before now).

Hi all, Can anyone offer advice on which medication they used after surgery for pain management? Due to my other medical issues I can’t take any NSIADS including: ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, celecoxib, mefenamic acid, etoricoxib & indomethacin. I normally take just cocodamol and rest when

I had my laparoscopy 4 days ago, I'm quite swollen still, how long does it take for the bloating to subside?. I also had endometrial ablation and a mirena fitted, could it be the hormones too?. Also I read about mirena perforation, and now I'm paranoid that's going to happen to me 😆😬.

Had laparoscopy for stage 4 endometriosis with lots of bowel / urology involvement etc and just wondering when things might get back to normal. Thanks in advance x

And my second parkrun! The call went out from my running club for a few people to support the recently graduated C25K’ers on their first 5K. It seemed a bit soon to me as this was to be their third run of Week 9 and they had only covered 3K, but there you go. They were encouraged to do a mixture of

I'm stage 4 endometriosis patient and had a laparoscopy surgery 15months ago and I get lower back pain and stomach pain during my periods .I've heard of TENS machine is it suitable for everyone and can anyone suggest which brand TENS machine i should buy .

I came off the pill after 14 years and have had a few months of heavy periods, crippling stomach and lower back pain in first 24-48 hours of my period, with IBS like symptoms in the same time period. When I was in my early teens up until going on the pill, I had the same including nausea and feeling

I have been diagnosed with a large endometrioma on my right ovary, and am currently on the waiting list for a laparoscopy. Until recently, most of my pain has been on my right side, in the middle of my abdomen, or in my pelvis.

I don’t feel strong enough for a laparoscopy atm, & I feel I need more clarity before pushing for this. I feel the bloating and pain suggests I could have endo… Does anyone have Pelvic Congestion Syndrome? Or a thickened uterosacral ligament (if so was this from endo?)

Also, I have had a diagnostic laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and polypectomy all of which were clear and showed no signs of concern. However whenever I describe my troubles with my periods, everyone always queries if I have endometriosis. My periods are very painful, heavy and clotted.

I am 43 and facing the next (hopefully last) stage in endometriosis life. I have had two laparoscopic surgeries and a successful few years on the mirena coil. After an unbearable few months it has been recommended that we induce early menopause to manage. The big question is Hormones vs hysterectomy.

We finally have an answer. We were told the nephrologist does the colon cleanse just as a precaution and so that they are no problems with the solution. We were told the solution works better with the colon clean. We will start taking stool softeners too. It will be done laparoscopically in a hospital

I’m in the midst of an endo diagnosis but looking for some advice around endo and bleeding disorders? They found endometrioma on an ultrasound and I’ve just been for an MRI as consultant wants to see how bad it might be before considering any operation. Has anyone with Von Willebrands disease been

Hey! So I started having tenderness in my pelvic area, directly below belly button & top of pubic area on Saturday evening. Today I noticed I started spotting. There was more blood when opening bowels & if I pushed on the tender area. I've been having cramping, period like feelings all day as well

Last weekend I finally had my laparoscopy on the NHS and received my diagnosis and treatment, I couldn’t have been happier. Please read my story here and get in touch if you want any advice: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzUKTp4tkwb/?

Bit of a niche one for you... long story short, I am all signed up for my first laparoscopy surgery (NHS Birmingham women's) and am awaiting a pre-op appointment confirmation/date for the lap - I should note that I was able to get a diagnosis through an MRI scan of endo and adenomyosis so it won't be

For anyone reading this nervous about their next laparoscopy, whether it’s a first or a tenth, I hope my experience has made you feel more optimistic about your recovery! ❤️‍🩹
