Question please

I was diagnosed last year with endo after years of fighting and knowing that something wasn’t right.

None of my family have been diagnosed with endo but after talking to my mum she has explained that she gets pain in the lower stomach, bloated belly, is on medication for a low active bowel. She is now 56 and had a hysterectomy a lot of year again and still suffers. Is this possible that she may have endo undetected and if so is she still able to get a diagnosis? Xx

Im pretty sure I read online that you can still have endo even after a hysterectomy as it can be on your bladder and bowels xx
