Pelvic pain post total hysterectomy for endo and adenomyosis.
Hi 👋🏽, i hope someone can reassure me..
I had a complete hysterectomy for endometriosis/adenomyosis after 3 decades of pain. I had excision surgery and adhesions removed, and they took everything out, including cervix/tubes and ovaries. I’m now 14 weeks po and getting discomfort and dryness where my cervix was and also endo type pain in my pelvis. I was told by my surgeon that it’s impossible to get a return of endo so quickly, especially as he used a special solution to prevent adhesions reforming and even tiny microscopic endo was blown up on the screen whilst he was operating, so it’s highly unlikely any endo would have been missed. Every tiny bit was taken out. But I’m getting that familiar tugging and pulling and sharp pain again. He put me on HRT day after op (oestrogen only) and I’m wondering if that had anything to do with it? I did ask for progesterone but he said it wouldn’t make any difference to me. I’m in so much pain .. I will see him again next week, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? My surgeon is an expert on endo and endo/excision surgery and I’m based in the U.K..
