IN 1998 I HAD ENDOMITRIOSIS. I HAD THE LAPARASCOPY. AFTER SIX MONTH
FROM SUGERY, THE ENDOMITRIOSIS WAS BACK. I WENT FOR A HYSTORECTOMY (I
WAS 45).
ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'M HAVING PAINS IN MY PELVIC AREA. THE PAIN
GET WORST.
SOMETIMES I GET DESPERATE AND THINK ABOUT GOING TO EMERGENCY. COULD
THIS BE ADHESIONS? HOW BAD CAN IT GET? CAN IT AFFECT MY INTESTINES?
WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.
