Can you still have problems with endometriosis after having a complete histerocetomy.?

Answer 1

There is no cure for endometriosis so you could still have problems. I have it on my skin, deep cuts that I have had will not heal properly because the scar fills with endometrial tissue and I have to keep having it removed. If you have very mild endo, I think the chances of problems after a hysterectomy are pretty slim.

Answer 2

Absolutely. There is no definitive cure for Endometriosis, hysterectomy included.

Because Endo makes its own estrogen-synthesizing enzyme, called Aromatase, it is able to sustain its own life cycle even after hysterectomy. If there is any disease left behind at the time of the surgery, it will continue to cause symptoms, period (no pun intended).

All disease needs to be completely excised from all locations in order to attain the best chance for long-term relief. Find a specialist who uses excision - not ablation, vaporization, fulguration, cauterization or some other superficial means of surgical removal - to routinely excise all disease from all locations, including bowels, bladder, ureters, nerves, and/or other advanced area.

Check out http://www.endocenter.org/pdf/2006ScreeningEducationKit.pdf for accurate, detailed information about the disease. There are many facts, treatment options and other information therein you'll want to read up on. Also check out http://www.centerforendo.com, http://www.endometriosissurgeon.com, http://www.endoexcision.com, http://www.drcook.com and http://www.endocenter.org for more accurate information about Endometriosis treatment.

Good luck to you and remember that help is out there. You don't have to suffer.

Also - I did want to note in re: the above that almost *all* women experience retrograde menstruation. However, most don't develop Endo as a result. Retrograde menses, aka Sampson's Theory, is as old and outdated as the doctor who "discovered" the theory and for which it is named. It is now understood and widely accepted among global researchers and those who study and treat the disease everyday that immune dysfunction, gene dysregulation and certain environmental toxicant exposure are all contributing factors to the development of Endometriosis - not backflow.

Answer 3

YES!!!! Endometriosis grows from retrograde cycles. (This is where the blood during menstruation flows back through the tubes into the abdominal cavity.) So even after a removal you could have problems.

I have endometriosis now, still have uterus, tubes, ovaries; but I also have it outside on my skin on my legs and private area's. I also have it on my intestines, so my doctor warned that it could easily spread to other parts, including stomach, liver, pancreas, etc...

If you think you are still have problems with it, go to the doctor right away. Good luck - Be safe!

Answer 4

You won't have any trouble with your uterus, however
depending on the location of the growths, interference with the normal function of the bowel, bladder, small intestines and other organs within the pelvic cavity can occur. In very rare cases, endometriosis has also been found in the skin, the lungs, the diaphragm, and even the brain.
