" My endo came back after my hyst. It's doesn't happen to everyone but there are quite a few women I've met that are in the same position I am. Before a hyst please check on any other possible conditions like
* IC
*pelvic congestion syndrome
*pelvic floor dysfunction
* Irritable Bowel Syndrome
* Hernias (Inguinal, Femoral, Ventral, Umbilical, Sciatic, Obturator, Perineal, Spigelian)
* Trigonitis
* Adhesions
* Adenomyosis
* Ovarian Remnant Syndrome
* Adhesions from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
* Ovarian Cysts
* Degenerating Uterine Fibroids
* Muscular pain and Muscle Spasm
* Trigger points
* Pudendal Nerve Neuralgia
* Retroverted (or Tilted) Uterus
* Nerve Entrapments and Peripheral Neuropathies
* Neuromas
* Pelvic Girdle Malrotation
* Pelvic Relaxation
* Cervical or Endometrial Polyps
* Colitis
* Coccydynia (pain in the tailbone)
* Clitorodynia (pain in the clitoris)
* Myofascial pain
* Fibromyalgia
* Porphyria

Before you take such a major step be sure there is no other option. After a hyst you are more prone to dementia, alzheimers, osteoperosis, vaginal cancer.
good luck. "
