Laparoscopic surgery to rule out endometriosis

Hi

I had Laparoscopic surgery 3 weeks ago to rule out endometriosis so far my stitches haven’t come out and I am still in pain. So far I haven’t gone back to work doing the smallest task I am still in pain . Does anyone have any experience of how long stitches take to come out and how they got on after surgery .

🙂 You will have a few stitches in your abdomen so be careful when bending, stretching and washing. Normally these are stitches that dissolve by themselves but if you experience any irritation or problems, contact your hospital.
