Bowel endo surgery
I was diagnosed with endo via lap four years ago. At the time i had an endometrioma removed but they left some endo (including a nodule) on my left uterosacral ligament as it was too close to the ureter. I also had mirena fitted at the same time and discharged straight after the surgery. Although there

Life After Colectomy - Colon Resection
Hello. Can anyone tell me realistically their experience after colectomy- colon resection surgery? I have been offered a left hemicolectomy and want to know what the true recovery is. Surgeons are minimizing the recovery and say once healed you will probably not notice anything. I have a hard time

Stoma refashion
I have a stoma since birth from hirshprungs that left me with a permenant colostomy. I have been told surgery for the stoma 23 years later as it had started retracting in 2014 but nobody would help. My skin has also seperated from the stoma also leaving a large wound. This will be my first surgery understanding

Anyone with endo going through IVF/DEIVF?
I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo back in jan 2015. Since then we went through IVF in early 2020 and had complications with egg collection puncturing my endo cyst and causing an infection that spread to my bowels. Long story short I had to have a stoma for 2 and a half years and removal of my ovary,

Stage 4 endo with adynomyosis- sub hysterectomy, please advise on it
Hi everyone. I have been diagnosed of endometriosis via laparoscopy in 2018.

HRT after Endo and full Hysterectomy
Hi 2 years ago I had a full hysterectomy following having stage 4 endo which was everywhere but mainly 15cm chocolate cyst on my ovary and stuck to my bowel. Resulted in me having bowel surgery at the same time as my hysterectomy with a temporary stoma. I had a 3 weeks stay in hospital with complications

Niraparib ( Zejula) with an ileostomy

I took Rucaparib but lost so much fluid through the stoma that there was very little padding through the kidneys and it caused kidney problems. I may now take Niraparib .

Ostomy Bag Gone Amuck
My Hollister ostomy bag pancakes on stoma and prevents bag from operating properly. Hence it blows up and comes apart in the most inopportune times. My hernia prevents me from putting the bag on properly. I need help from someone else. Does anyone have these problems?

Anxious - Endo and bowel surgery
Hello all! Joined this group when I discovered I had endometriosis. I’ve since had a laparoscopy which has confirmed severe endo, obliterated pouch of Douglas, adhesions to the bowel. MRI has also confirmed adenomyosis. Not great! I’ve tried dienogest which just turned me into a psycho so not keen

Panic over endo surgery
Hi there,I've been waiting for laparoscopic surgery and a cystectomy for some time to treat what has been classified as severe endo. I got a call to say they are booking me in and now I am really panicked. I have never had any kind of surgery before and, because of where the endo is, I'll also need
