My daughter-in-law suffers from severe pelvic pain syndrome. This has been brought on, not by the endometriosis she has, but by the repeated laparoscopies she had to have. It is really debilitating and she hasn't worked for a couple of years now. This could be what your pain is. The laparoscopies can damage the pelvic floor and send it into spasms.

Hi Taz2,

Wow, that sucks, but also makes sense, they don't really tend to tell you this when you have the surgeries, I mean it wouldn't necessarily stop you having the surgeries but could at least prepare you for what you might have to deal with.

So how does your daughter cope on a day to day basis?

Hi there,

I had a hysterectomy at 40 due to years of pelvic pain and they found Endometriosis. My specialist told me a tiny amount can cause some woman excruciating pain and then large amounts might not cause any pain at all.

Have you ever been seen by an Endometriosis specialist? That's who I would be asking for a referral for. I use Utrogeston everyday as my progesterone, had no side effects and has helped greatly with pelvic pain. I also use Oestrogel which you may prefer if your having a nightmare with patches not sticking!

Hurdity-She can't have a mirena as no womb to put it in!

Doh - how stupid of me! Brain not working - sorry!

Emeraldeyes - hope you manage to sort something out that will reduce the pain.

You are not stupid at all Hurdity, you are a great help to many women seeking advice on here!

Thanks Otes73 and Hurdity for your advice, I've only been using these patches for a week and really don't feel like they are working with my body, I feel like im in tune with my body pretty well, and compared to the tablets these just don't seem to work well with me, I mean its only been a week so I may need to be a little more patient.

Do you get those gels from the doctor as well?

So, silly question Otes73, but even though I don't have a womb or ovaries or tubes, can I still suffer from Endometriosis??

Ive seen a gynaecologist specialist, but not sure if I'd seen a specific Endometriosis specialist as such.

Yes I've read about women still needing progesterone post total hysterectomy where endometriosis was a problem before

[Emeraldeyes1481]

I know it sounds silly Annie0710 but I was thinking maybe the reason I was still in pain was because I was taking HRT with Progesterone in.

But maybe not... xx

[Annie0710]

It's not silly but I think the thing is when they take the uterus away fragments can be left and then endometriosis can be present
That's not worded right but I mean bits can be left when they think they've cleared out ! X

[Emeraldeyes1481]

No I totally understand what you mean Annie0710 xx
