Good afternoon, I was diagnosed with PD by DatScan 3 weeks ago (age 50). As I'm sure is standard at this stage in my diagnosis, I am trying to navigate my way through the wealth of information out there. I am fluctuating between self-pity, defiant positivity, and utter bewilderment. I’m so very grateful

I was wondering if anyone could give their experiences of having a total hysterectomy due to endometriosis. I have been told after MRI that at the least I need to have one tube and ovary removed along with an endometrioma. It has been suggested, however that a total hysterectomy alongside would be best

At 31, a total hysterectomy wasn’t on my bingo card but it is what it is! Anyone got any advice, pointers, things to bear in mind that they want to share? I’m also having a bowel resection plus possible stoma fitting (they won’t know the extent of the damage until they get in there) plus a review of

Does anyone here take WHEY to complet daily protein necessity ?

The surgeon thinks I had endometriosis for at least ten years due to the amount of tissue that was actually there so was fortunate in a way to only have awful symptoms in the few months prior

Any advice appreciated Laparoscopic Total Hysterectomy with stage 4 Endo excision 5 weeks ago, was wondering if anyone had tried with good results supportive underwear or clothing to help that "heavy, dragging" feeling in your tummy?!

Hi all I was given a presumptive diagnosis of endometriosis in 2020 after having symptoms for years that I normalised. I did have a USS in 1995 which was normal so just thought painful heavy periods was something I had to put up with. I have since had a hysteroscopy and the Mirena coil fitted in 2021

Ha all, sorry to repeat what may have appeared hundreds of times before... Iam nearly 3 weeks post total hysterectomy, everything removed and stage 4 Endo excision.

Hi all! It has been a while since my last post. A lot has changed and yet remains the same! We fought for a while with pals and the hospital but we were just going around in circles!
