Hi My name is grace I and now 56. I started my endo at 20 with pain etc. After going through many doctor one doctor finally found I had a hugh cysts and endo very bad. I had a hysterectomy at 25. I have no children. Endo can only be stopped by having a hysterectomy. My life began after that I had no pain, sex was good no pain I had my life back because of my age I was put on hormones. I do not recommend the hormones for everyone because now I have been treated for lipoma (fatty growing tumors) I had one removed from my arm and thigh. There is no link yet between hormones and lipomas but I dont think enough of people have put 2 and 2 together. Getting a hysterectomy will change your life they will remove and new growing endo and you will feel 100% better.

I don't understand why people wait and go through pain of endo everytime endo grows it attackes another part of the internal organs this in future years comes back as adhesions.

Good luck I hope my story helped. You can email me at
