Just curious how they stage Endo and what is considered stage 4. I am having surgery 12/22. Have been on HRT (Vivelle) since 12/02, when I had my last ovary removed because of endometriosis, which wasn't even found until 10 years after my uterus was removed and it had strangulated one ovary, then had the last removed 12/02.. I can't have intercourse and get these horrible shooting pains up from my vagina that double me over in pain. I also have kidney stones and have pain in my flank, that I think are kidney stones, but I think it's endo/adhesions. I also have problems with bowel movements. My doc thinks my endo has possibly come back or I have alot of adhesions....anybody else have these problems?
