NO, he is not an endo specialist BUT he is a doctor I trust, who listens to me and has helped a great deal.There is no specialist in this area. But, like I said I am aware I could have endo problems after the hyst. Just need to get rid of this uterus and all of its problems. I have had problems for years, but like you thought it was somewhat normal. After weaning my 2nd child (he is now 7) I started having major problems with ovarian cysts, etc. I had a lap last May with my doc and was diagnosed with endo stage 3, I had a lot of adhesions and things were stuck together (but not as bad as yours) as well as the adeno and pelvic congestion. I also am having my surgery in sept so the kids will be back in school. My surgery is on the 12th and I am very nervous. When is yours? Tue, 31 Jul 2007, gonetobch wrote: >
