Anyone have a similar experience and what was your outcome?From: greyladybug (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Jun 8 19:22:57 2007
I was diagnosed with stage IV endo April 06 after a laparotomy to remove right ovary d/t a 10cm cyst. I had a lot of endo on my bowels that they had to remove. In march of this year, I found I had a new cyst on left ovary, this one 12cm. I had a lap on Tuesday to remove the cyst, but when they got in my abodomen, I had a lot of adhesions, and my ovary was covered with my small bowel. They closed me back up and rescheduled my surgery for July when a gyn oncologist could be there along with my reproductive doc to help get the bowel moved. My question is if any of you think another surgery is worth it or not. My fear is that a lot of my pain is caused by the adhesion pain and bowel involvement rather than the endo. And if it is being caused by those things, another surgery will just make the adhesions worse and what is there to stop my bowel from ending up all stuck to everything again? Plus, my doc really don't know that it will help my fertiltiy at all. And if it is not going to help my fertility or my pain, why should I have an open abdominal surgery again? Any advice or similar experiences would be really appreciated.
