I strongly suspect I have endo. I have adenomyosis (confirmed) and the two usually go hand in hand. Earlier this year I was in hospital just under a week with a massive 'infection' - they never determined whether it was infected ovarian abscesses or chocolate cysts. It was bad enough that I was in critical care. If the latter, then I definitely have endo.
Answers would be good, because then maybe there might be some solutions
In reply to what BG said about the amount of endo, I had lots and they removed lots, but it's done via burning, so there is not any actual pain associated with the removal of the endo as the nerves are burned and so there is no pain. The only pain I had was from the puncturing of the muscles in the stomach to get the instruments in. I had 3 sites plus a drain because there was a lot of fluid used to clean stuff out. That's also why I had to stay in overnight, the drain had to be removed the next day.
Had the lap on Tuesday. No endo but lots of scarring and adhesions. My left tube was removed and sent for biopsy as it was "abnormal" - very inflamed and enlarged. It was completely stuck to the side of my uterus. There was also a lesion in my bladder which was removed and is being biopsied.
I came home last night after spending the night in complex care. I am very sore and tired and a bit upset.
