24 hours post-lap concerns
Hi everyone, I had my first lap yesterday. Have not been very well since (oy discharged this afternoon), and looking for some advice. Did anyone else develop a UTI as soon as they came round from anaesthetic? They've given me antibiotics but there seems to be a lot of blood in my urine. They've tried

Ovary removal success for Endo?
Hi I am 3 weeks post Ovary and Fallopian Tube removal performed Laparoscopically. After surgery my Consultant confirmed that Endometriosis had basically stuck my ovaries to my pelvis. He advised that I shouldn’t suffer from any further Endometriosis issues but I do still have uterus. Has anyone else

Hospital checklist-for tomorrow!
Hi everyone. I've got my first lap tomorrow! Does anyone have some 'must haves' or even basics to take to hospital? Really not too sure what I need. They said it will just be day surgery, but is it worth taking an overnight bag? Also, has anyone else had their NHS appointment outsourced to a private

Surgery waiting times
I went to the specialist at Preston in late December and was put in the list for a lap. I was told at the time it was a 12-18 month wait. I just wondered how long the waiting list is in other parts of the country? No particular reason, just wondering if 12-18 months is excessive.

No endometriosis found
Hi all, So after being on Zoladex injections for a year I finally had my
laparoscopy
surgery. No endometriosis was found during this except for tilted womb. Mirena coil inserted. I’m really upset that I’ve been given no diagnosis or real answer to the horrendous pain I’ve been in.

High BMI
I just wondered if anyone has quite a high BMI, I'm having my first ever
Laparoscopy

Questions re: Mirena coil & surgery follow up! What check should be done?
Hello 👋 I had a laparoscopic surgery with excision of peritoneal/ superficial endometriosis 5 weeks ago. A Mirena coil was placed during the surgery. I’m still recovering ❤️🩹 but think I’m gradually doing better, though not been back to work. My questions: Does anyone know if the coil is meant

Last minute lap-help!
Hiya, I’ve got a few questions about an upcoming lap! My surgery got outsourced to a private hospital Friday before last because of NHS waiting times. I was so surprised for them to call me this Wednesday to say they had booked me in for my lap next Thursday (24th)! Although I know I’m very lucky,

I am scared
The doctor then confirmed I have Stage 4 DIE but not other endometriomas can be seen. 2 weeks after the first
laparoscopy
I had an ultrasound and I was told I have 3 more endometriomas 7-11cm on left ovary and 5cm on right ovary.

What about my dad's prostate treatment?
Hello, My father is 53 years old and 3 years ago his PSA was 5.3. As a result of the biopsy, ASAP was found in only two foci. Other foci were clear. After 3 years (2022), each PSA was 24 as a result of increased infection. As a result of the biopsy, cancer was detected in 8 foci and the score was 5+

Feedback following appointment
I have been told that the waiting list for a
laparoscopy
is 2-3 years. I have been told to get on this waiting list I must reduce my weight. They said they will not perform the surgery unless I can reduce my BMI for 50 to 35 (I have worked this out that I need to loose over 5 stone).

Follow-up post lap appointment
So basically my consultant has told me not only did he remove a large amount of endometriosis and then showed me the pictures of it all, he also found while in there that I have Adenomyosis - I have never heard of this before today! Feeling very upset and confused as he told me it can reduce fertility

Ovary removal only
Hi 👋 I’m new here. Hoping I can get some insight. I have had about 9 months of prostap injections and found my endo/ adeno pain improved so much. A couple of months ago I started HRT to go with the prostap and have found my pain has increased a bit. From what I’ve read this is fairly normal with endo

Constant bloating and swollen tummy
In the past I’ve had a laparotomy and
laparoscopy
for ovarian cysts and my endo, I’ve had a mirena coil for years which stopped my periods completely, living without period pains has been a god send. But now I’m wondering if I have ovarian cysts again and hoping it’s not something worse.
