Third Laparoscopy For Endo Pouch Of Douglas & Pelvic Wall. Not Much Relief
Hi all,
Don't know if I just need to vent but some advice would be appreciated too. I had my third Laparscopy towards the end of May this year. The removed endo from the Pouch of Douglas and Pelvic Wall. After previous surgeries I have generally felt a good bit of relief in the coming months. I also have PCOS. I'm not feeling as much relief as I thought I would by now. This month has been horrific. I had two full weeks where I felt "periody" and had PMS bloating, moods, cramps etc. I finally… read more
If I'm honest I felt no relief from having a laparoscopy, I felt like my nerve endings were just on fire and it just allowed it to run rampant. UCLH referred to my pouch of diagnosis as an obliterated cavity. Ouch.
I hope you find some relief soon, take care X
Your body needs some rest
I think it does take time after surgery for the body to heal and for you to see any real difference. The other issue is everyone is different and laparoscopic procedures don’t always work but drs like to push them for some reason. I went through 13 operations and procedures to help my endo. It had spread throughout my body to my bowel. After each procedure you are risking more scarring which is exactly what happened to me. I was in my early 20s so drs refused a hysterectomy! Then I got frozen pelvis which means everything in my tummy is fused together so now it’s too risky to have one. As my bowel was obliterated I now have a stoma for life as a lot of my bowl had to be removed (and almost killed me) It’s frustrating that people generally (and a lot of gp’s) don’t understand how debilitating endo can actually be and how life changing it is. Any surgery has got to show a good chance of helping. Not just a let’s go in there and hope for the best! On the other hand what other viable option do we have? Diet etc can only go so far.
I also have pcos and ibs and endometriosis and low vitamin d and they won’t do surgery on me other than a d and c and gallbladder surgery and removal of an ovary
I'm 8 months post op and started feeling really crappy again. I was fine for a fair few months after my 3rd laproscopic procedure but like you. I am debating whether its worth going doctors or just carry on trying to cope. X
