Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

Had my surgery to remove endometriosis in Friday. A previous surgery diagnosed me with the Endo and one tube blocked. Thank God for a new doctor! He diagnosed me with stage 4 multiple cysts and two OPEN working tubes. He removed as much Endo as he could, drained as many cysts as he could and with hope I will be feeling better soon and even more hopeful I will be pregnant soon! It was disappointing to hear how far along it was, especially with my age (24). I am now resting at home watching the DVD of my surgery, how cool is that!! Fingers crossed that everything works! Any post surgery tips are welcome!! I know another surgery will be in my future soon, but in the mean time I hope to feel better!!

Hey there Sweetie...Sounds like all is well post-surgery=) Just take it easy and be good to yourself. I'm not so sure I'd want to watch my surgery as I'm not much for horror flicks!

Sending healing wishes for your recovery.

Hugs~~Pup

I am on my third surgery- two this year and one about 12 years ago! I know that feeling of "another surgery in my future". I'm not planning on getting pregnant and so this time will stick to my birth control pills hoping that keeps it at bay! Fingers crossed for you!

Awesome! Take care and I hope this surgery brings you some much needed relief. Would you mind me asking who your doctor was as I think its really cool that you got a DVD of your surgery. Wish all Surgeons would do this. Sending hugs and healing thoughts your way!!! Jenny

I realize this was a couple of weeks ago and hope you are doing well. Just wanted to say to take your time healing and don't let anyone tell you when you should be feeling better by. Do NOT push yourself too much - that was the biggest mistake I made the first time I think. So even though its been a few weeks you might still be feeling really exhausted and weak. That's OK. Ask for help!

Sorry if this is redundant from your prior surgery - its just something I wish I was told!
