So I had a laparoscopy on Thursday as I have an 8cm complex cyst which they said was stuck around the back of my womb so they wanted to look properly at what was going on in case of any endometriosis etc.
I had a bad case of pelvic inflammatory disease 5 years ago so I asked the consultant before the op if that might be an issue which he agreed it might.
After the surgery i was told that there were extensive adhesions caused by pid and that one ovary was stuck to my bowel, my cul de sac is obliterated (what a horrible term!) and he can't even see or get to the cyst.
So I will see him again in 6 weeks for the post op and he said he will explain all (I was still pretty dopey when he explained it all to me) and order an mri then most likely more surgery.
A bit nervous about what all this means and about the prospect of more in depth surgery. Does anyone else suffer from adhesions? Luckily I have no pain but I am aware this could change in time. I am also aware they will get worse the more surgery i have but I guess the cyst needs to be removed. Just feels a bit overwhelming right now!
