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

hysterectomy advice
hi Back story, I never had any issues with my periods was on the pill and always had a bleed during the 7 day break. Then around 5 years ago my periods became heavy and unpredictable. Changed pills but that didn’t work so was referred to a gynaecologist and scans revealed I had a few fibroids. I had

Recently diagnosed Endo
Hi I'm new and looking for some insight away from the walls of medics.My story starts 3 years ago, I was bleeding more than I wasn't. I had always had heavy periods since they started and a lot of pain and anaemia more often than not, but thought it was normal (I'm 46 now). After having 2 children I

Post lap bloating.
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 😆😬. I'm a hypochondriac

Post Lap bleeding
Hi all, I have endometriosis and adenomyosis and recently had my 4th laposcopy 2 weeks. I had a mirena fitted, but have been bleeding since. Has anyone experienced this? I have always been anemic as well, so know this is building up as well. I ve heard the mirena might take time to settle as well. Any

Return after ovary removal?
10 years ago I had my ovaries removed after suffering from endo for several years. My quality of life improved immensely and I’ve been pretty much pain free since. I am on Kliovance HRT (1mg) and had the mirena coil fitted which is now 5 yrs old. I effectively had a medical menopause. When I had surgery

Had my lap today.
Thought I'd update on my surgery today for anyone that hasn't had theirs yet. My bilateral cystectomy went really well. I had three rods put in and my ovarian cysts were pulled out through my belly button (lol ewww). Had endometrial ablation and mirena. Turns out I was absolutely riddled with endo but

Staying positive/ mind set
How do you keep going?! Until now my pain was manageable. But now nothing helps but codeine. I have 2 kids. I'm exhausted. I'm self employed so missing my work colleagues support network. Plan is to have a hysterectomy but can't have it for a year. I just feel very stuck. Are GPs supposed to help

Hormones - coil and patch
Has anyone been told to try the coil and the patch. I’m really struggling with endo pains three years after excision surgery and have a mirena coil fitted but have been told to try the patch as well to shut my cycle down.

Cyst on ovary
I recently posted here about pain on my left side after an ulcerative colitis flare. I’ve been having this pain since October and was given antibiotics for diverticulitis. All my other UC symptoms are now gone and a colonoscopy and CT scan have ruled out any further bowel issues but the pain is still
