So I was diagnosed with endometriosis 5 years ago following a lapraocopy. I have suffered crippling pain and awful fatigue for years prior to and after my period. Its been horrendous.
After a year long wait I was seen by my surgeon who is well known as an endo specialist in this part of the country. I pushed for a hysterectomy, he agreed it was the right course of treatment.
Fast forward to a week before my surgery (last week) and my surgeon is changed to someone I've never heard of. I went ahead regardless, as I was desperate to be pain free and live some kind of normality.
I woke in recovery to be told by the gynae reg that they removed some adhesions, that's all I remember as I was really out of it a following drop in my oxygen saturation and just general haziness. I was seen again by the gynae team the following day, I had forgotten all about the previous visit and was just desperate to pee so I could go home (single parent)
Upon discharge the nurse was going through the discharge papers and I noticed it stated no endometriosis noted. I'm so so upset and confused. Have I just undergone a major operation for nothing? Had the surgeon missed something?
I don't have a gynae follow up unless histology suggests I need one.
Hormonal, in pain and annoyed.
What would you do?
