Endometriosis Support Group

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.

Hi ladies,
wanted to get on here to let you know how I am going. In my surgery my endometriosis and adhesions were everywhere I was absolutely covered in it, my ovaries were not visable due to endo and my uterus was covered with endo. It was the clear adhesions and endo, black spots and red spots just everywhere! I also had to have a right femeral cyst removed (a cyst on my artry removed). I am recovering well, just shoulder pain, but I have de-gas and heat sacks for it. I am also tired and tender but overall ok. Evidently my endo grows quite quickly so I am at a loss at whats next.

I hate endo! don't we all though?

Thanks for your prayers! Much love!

Hey girl, glad that your doing o.k. after your surgery; I have been thinking of you. Sorry to hear about the endo coming back. What kind of surgery did you have the last time? Was it excision? Just wonder what peoples success with that was.

Hoping you have a quick recovery.
Much love
Gina

So sorry sweetie that your results weren't as you'd hoped. What an inspiration you are, though, Tate, that you can still put a positive spin on it, hoping that something good will come out of it.
Thinking of you. You know I'm here for you, too, hon
Love you
Angel

Oh taters, this disease sucks. thinking of you.

Hope you are feeling ok.
adenomyosis is within the muscle wall, not on pelvic surfave like endo., it is only diagnosed by biopsy of uterus.

did they remove any by excision this time for you? Prob a dumb question. Ive been hearing bits and pieces of your story so I am not sure what this most recent surgery for you was for.
