I have stage 4 endo with bowel and uterus adhered together. All of scans were clear, ultrasound and MRI even though it has deeply infiltrated my bowels. Thanks for the video xx

Thank you for this video, it's really informative. I've been dealing with excruciating period pain since I was 16, I take the maximum amount of painkillers all week and even then I am clock watching until the next dose. Went to my doctors and they said I should take even more painkillers and that because I've 'dealt' with it since I was 16 I should be fine to manage it. Feel like I am just covering up the problem. I'm definitely going to look into the coil. If you had the pain 7 days a month would you say fighting for the diagnosis and the surgery was worth it?

I had a hysterectomy in September of 2023 with a unilateral oophorectomy and my endo came back in January. I’m having my second endo surgery in two weeks with possibility of medical menopause 😞 it’s an emotional journey

Ami, your videos have helped me so much. 2 weeks post surgery and your over planning is definitely my vibe so helped massively. I'm sure you will add these but the beyou patches, buscapan mint and mint capsules helped me. I also got small bottles of sparkling water so it was really fizzy constantly and helped me with my gas pain. I changed my bedding the day before surgery as well so you come home to a fresh bed. I also got myself a grabber stick so I could reach for drinks on my own and if I dropped anything and no one was around. I got plastic ear piercings but when I got to hospital they just taped them up so maybe check before you go to the hassle! Sending you all the love and healing ❤ thanks for all you do for us endo warriors xxx

Menopause will greatly reduce symptoms even if it is on bowels or other areas. Without the cyclical surge of estrogen every month, the body will stop producing endometrium so it stops spreading to other areas. The endometrium deposits already on other areas/organs tends to shrink. The pain after menopause is often the result of the scarring which was left from the endo when it was active, pre menopause.

Your symptoms are the same as what my cousin goes through! when she gets her period she almost gets into a seizure she's shaking she can't stand she can't breathe well and she's in a lot of pain. What worked for her was a very strong pain killer. I get what you went through cuz I've seen my cousin and it's horrible! I hope you're doing better now.
