my endo is likely back and i have nowhere else to talk about it
i’m 10 weeks post op from my first excision surgery, where i was diagnosed stage 1. the hope was that id go on birth control after surgery (which i did) and that the endo wouldn’t come back. here i am 10 weeks later with both lingering pelvic pain and new pelvic pain. new bladder pain. my whole pelvis hurts still. my gyno sent me back to GI when i was around 1 month post op, to see if i needed a colonoscopy. my GI dr says she doesn’t believe i need further GI testing and that she thinks my endometriosis is back. if it’s already back, does that mean that it has likely spread to my other organs? is it possible that it went from stage 1 to more advanced that quickly? howww do i cope with this, and what is my dr likely to say/do when i go back still in pain? is he gonna suggest surgery again immediately? i’m hoping he will let me wait until it’s totally unbearable, but wondering if he’s gonna say he wants to operate before it gets even worse. maybe he will just start with ultrasound or something? i feel so lost and im so mad that im still in pain
