Melody, i am glad you are OK, please keep us updated on your post
surgery condition and anything to help. Did you have any type of
Laproscopy surgery before this one? I am scheduled for a surgery and
possible hysterectomy. I was told i have an endometrioma on my ovary
and endometriosis. Now reading all of your stories i am thinking i
might have adenomyosis. My abdomen is so swollen and the dr. said my
uterus is swollen during my pre exam. My question is, how difficult is
it to remove the endo or adeno during lapro? I just don't want to say
yes take it all out for the first time anyone has gone in to look. I'm
38 and have one child and more concerned with the early menopause than
fertility at this point. It hurts too much nor im not in the mood for
sex!
