Common Questions and Answers about Laser surgery hysterectomy

t know I had this condition until an emergency surgery in the year before my hysterectomy. I was also told before this that my brain and reproductive system weren't talking to each other and so the reproductive system was doing its own thing apart from brain signals. It sure didn't seem to know what it was doing with all the days I had bleeding.
Endometriosis typically isn't seen on ultrasounds or MRIs.
I think I have decided against a Hysterectomy. Im only 32 and I am afraid of the results. However I have to have my left ovary removed for sure. I will also ask more about BC pills to help reduce the chances of more cysts and to possibly help get rid of the ones I have on my right ovary.
You really need to go see an Endometriosis specialist. The gyno doing your surgery is most likely doing ablation (laser) which only gets the surfaces of the disease. You need a skilled Endometriosis surgeon that can excise (cut out) the disease from the root. This is imperative and it is the Gold standard treatment for this disease.
Please do not get a hysterectomy. It does not cure endo. There is no cure however having a surgery done by a skilled surgeon will give you relief.
When you had your surgery what was the method of Endometriosis removal? Excision or laser? Also once you had your surgery were you put on meds right away? Was the surgeon a gyno or an Endometriosis specialist?
I want to make sure you understand that a hysterectomy will not stop the Endometriosis from growing. I can't emphasis that enough.
I totally understand your frustrations I really do.
I've had laser surgery done for the endometriosis a few years ago. Most of my symptoms now are related to the pcos. The symptoms are horrible. Excess hair growth on the face...balding on your head...weight gain in mid-section..acne...it's really hard to look at myself in the mirror and see the old me...it's taken over my life!
The key to battling Endometriosis is excision surgery. The Endo needs to be cut out from the root even if that means digging deep and getting it all out. Doing this will make your chances of it coming back as bad very good and the adhesions wont be as bad if it is done this way. However is laser is done for most of the surgery you are going to end up with the Endo coming back, lots more scar tissue.
So I went to a new obgyn yesterday with all my records...in tears because it had been a long day. I had to drag my 18 month old daughter with me. The cramping was unbearable. She said she wanted me to see a obgyn endometrosis specialist and discuss either an endromerial ablation or hysterectomy. I just want the hysterectomy and Im telling the doc next week that. Either surgery I can't have kids again. The appointment is next Wednesday at 3.
I had laparoscopy surgery done about 8 weeks ago. I actually went in to have a cyst removed, but the cyst had already ruptured, but they found endometriosis. I have hurt and hurt and I still hurt. I go tomorrow to my ob to discuss further options. At my 2 week post op, he mentioned about the Lupron shot which I do NOT want to take for various reasons. I hurt mainly on my right ovary, but when he did the lap. he said my ovaries looked fine.
I was diagnosed when I was 18 and have had 4 laporoscopic surgeries, a hyteroscopy, two miscarries and finally the hysterectomy. I had a lot of pain. I thought my problems would go away after the hysterectomy but I guess I was wrong. I am very blessed to have a daughter and son, very blessed. I had tried all types of birth control to help things and nothing worked.
I am now 35 years old. I had a full hysterectomy at age 30. since then I have had kidney and bladder problem. painful sex painful urination. and problems using the bathroom in other ways too. I have to use enemas every other day. to the lady who asked if you can have children with endometriosis. I had to natural healthy births. although I did have many miscarriages trying to conceive a child with endometriosis. with endometriosis tumors followed.
Interesting enough they found a giant cell lesion on my bladder flap which is carbon residue from my first surgery when laser was used. However laser had to be used for that area because excision couldn't. So there are side effects of the laser and yes Endometriosis will grow back but if you excise it all out the chances are a lot less and will not come back as severe.
i had a supracervical hysterectomy done. This scar tissue is EVIL. I had laser surgery 10 yrs. ago to have it removed. Most of the time it's a temp fix. I would definately go for the ultra sound. There are also meds out that is supposed to releive menstrual pain due to endo. Have it checked, trust me. Best of luck.
I want to recommend, crwstar, if you have any endometriosis, ask them to excise, not laser burn. I did this for my hysterectomy, but was burned when I didn't know it with the first laporotomy. I later learned that it is better to cut than to burn, because the body treats the burns like foreign bodies and more scarring can happen. Adhesions are no fun.
Google Laser treatment of scars and put in where you live , there are Dermatologists in every city so you should have plenty of choice, Good Luck
I'm 20 and was diagnosed last November with endometriosis after having a cyst rupture while at work. I had a lot of cysts removed from my ovaries Via davinci assisted surgery. I've tried birth control with no luck, and most recently I've been on norethindrone 10mg a day and again am still having constant bleeding. What are the odds that the cysts have come back already in April? How many surgeries did you have?
Folks I am considering
