I guess I could update on this. I had it done late last year and they put me under for it. I was really nervous about it, but I went well and I've been feeling better since. I had to stay the night because of the anaesthesia and I had some bleeding and horrible cramping afterwards and I couldn't do any heavy lifting or exercise for about a week. I have an appointment with my gynae soon so I'm hoping that the endo hasn't come back.

I have suffered from endometriosis for nearly 12 years now it started in my late 30s early 40s I was put onto desigestral combination pill I have to take it every day and it was to lighten my periods or stop them which they did and for a little while I had no pain it was like it had gone away? After 6 months of taking the pill I started getting the pain lower back my lower stomach felt like it was on fire it was like a burning fizzing feeling its awful, I personally can't do anything when this starts I'm lying on my bed till it passes and that could be hours or days. I'm 52 now and the illness is becoming less as I'm on the start of peri menopause I'm having periods but not regularly so thankfully I'm suffering less.

I'm not so lucky as you as I couldn't have the surgery as the scar tissue was attached to the lining of my womb and bowel so the doctor said it would be a tricky operation

Hello ladies, I've had endometriosis for at least 8 years now and it's just gone worse and worse each year. Nothing I have tried has worked, so my doctor is encouraging me to have surgery to remove scar tissue and a possible cyst. I'm hesitant to do it because I've heard that surgery isn't really effective because the tissue just grows back and that the recovery from it is horrendous. I'm wondering if I should just forget the whole thing and go for a hysterectomy? Can anyone share their experiences either on surgery or hysterectomy? I'm really tired of this disease and if a hysterectomy will just nip it in the but I may just go for that.
Thanks xx
