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.

Will it hurt? Details please.

Everyone is different, but once I completely healed (about 2-3 weeks later) sex was actually less painful than before the surgery.

I would definitely wait at least two weeks...it shouldn't really hurt but might be uncomfortable if you aren't totally healed.

I meant to say after recovery hahaha is it gonna hurt? I just got my hooha redone due to vulvodynia and enjoying sex again (first time in about 7 years!) so I don't want to do anything to mess that up!

You'll be fine as long as you follow doctors orders ... no sex, tampons etc for 2-3weeks.

Alana3 02/12/2014

Thanks. I guess I can last that long haha

Sex wont be on your mind while recovering.

Christine1976 02/12/2014

LOL! Whyme, that's exactly what I was going to say!! :-)

Alana3 02/12/2014

Yeah I know that but after is what I'm concerned about

My doctor told me to wait a week. I would check with your doctor to make sure and see what they recommend.

Definitely at least 2 weeks...and then start slow/gentle playing around with things. After you're totally recovered though any deep-inside pain with sex will probably be better than before surgery.

Thanks, I'm just worried I guess because of my vulvodynia I don't want any painful sex.
