Endo surgery with bowels specialist questions

Question

Hi! I went to see an endo specialist and we were able to see tissue that they believe to be endo basically fusing my uterus to my bowels. Endo specialist said I need to have a consult with a bowels surgeon prior to excision surgery since they both need to be there. Because I was a mess at the consult (took 13 years to have someone believe that this wasn’t in my head) I didn’t ask any questions.

  1. If anyone had vaginal bleeding with penetration, did it get better after surgery? I’ve still been bleeding from when they did the ultrasound at end of last month.
  2. Was anyone else able to see almost one side of the uterus attached to bowels, and how did surgery go? I am still waiting on consult with bowels surgeon so don’t know much about that side of things
  3. Did anyone’s symptoms include severe back pain with pain radiating down legs and if so, was surgery helpful?
  4. What things have helped you manage this disease? Learning about using a tens machine has been really helpful!

I’m only 25 and this has brought up a lot of questions of if I want kids etc that I had been kicking down the road. Any advice is appreciated!
