Early Menopause No Children

Endometriosis and adhesions?

I have had endo since I was 13. The past 2 years I have had to have 5 surgeries because of it. My last one was 4 months ago, I had a hystorectomy. I am only 28 so they left my ovaries because they didn't want me to start menopause at this early of an age. I have no children but felt it was my only option because I also had adnodmynosis and between the 2 I was in horrible pain. Everytime they went in my adhesions were on my bowel and alot of other places. Now it has been 4 months and I am starting to experiance pain in my lower abdomen. It is dull most of the time but hurts more when I eat. I think I have adhesions growing on my bowels again but the doctors said no it is probably IBS. They keep giving me meds for IBS the isn't working. I wanted to see if anyone else that has endo have had similar problems with it affecting your bowels.

I think your pretty spot on for blaming the endo. Lots of women w/endo are dianosed with IBS b/c endo on/surrounding the bowels can create GI issues. A lot of dr.'s believe that a hyst can cure endo-this is not true. So some dr.'s who perform a hyst will not look at endo being the culprit after the hyst is performed. It is entirely possible that all of the endo was not removed during your hyst and it is now growing back. I would suggest googling Dr Redwine who has excellenat info on hysts and endo that involves the bowels. Do you know if during the hyst they removed the endo and any adhesions? I wish you luck!
