Re: Endo symptoms back 3 weeks after Laprscop surgery?

My doctor says that it takes 6 weeks for everything to completely heal
in there. Do you think you could have an infection? That would cause
swelling and pain and a low-grade fever....did she give you anti-biotics
to take after surgery? I would not assume it is endo coming back until
you get a blood test to rule out an infection...Hopefully that's what it
is, and it can be easily taken care of! I hope you get to feeling and
healing better! Let us know what happens, ok?
Sincerely, Andrea
