I went about 25 years before finally being told I had endometriosis. 2013 surgery partial hysterectomy and excision at Center for Endo in Atlanta. Surgery went well and I was good for some years. I wish they would warn you that you’ll probably be back. 2020 started having left hip issues, then the lower left gut pains, constipation, nausea…2024 an excision of adhesions and oophorectomy of right ovary. Felt a little better for a few months then the left pelvis/hip pain and severe constipation flared up just as bad as before. September 2024 had sigmoidectomy. Now it’s August 2025, still have severe left side pain into my groin and hip. Horrible constipation. Tests are confusing but I’m going through all they want to send me through. Having endoscopy and colonoscopy this week. Already had nerve test that shows something going on in sacral plexus area but what?? MRI didn’t seem to show. Sick of dealing with Drs that want to help but have no clue about endo. Even Drs. that supposedly specialize don’t seem to get this is something that is slowly destroying my body over a lifetime. I’m now 53 and angry that I’m still dealing with this. And no one seems to have any answers. Being sent from one Dr to another and one test to another, which is very expensive. But I guess my question is, what’s being done about adhesions. They are making my life a misery. Is there any research on this. Do endo patients make more scar tissue because of inflammation? Is there any research into this and how to prevent it? Thanks for reading my rant!!
