Answer 1

Endometriosis (pronounced "en-doh-mee-tree-oh-sis") is where cells like the ones found in the womb lining (endometrium) grow on organs outside the womb. These go through the same monthly changes as the womb lining itself, sometimes swelling and bleeding into the body cavity. This bleeding can cause pain and swelling because, unlike a normal monthly period, the blood from endometriosis can't escape from the body through the v****a. Instead, the blood stays inside the body and may form rubbery bands of scar tissue, called adhesions. These can attach organs and tissues together and affect organs surrounding the womb.

Endometriosis is most common on the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissues that hold the womb in place. You can also get endometriosis on or around other organs in your pelvis, such as your bladder or bowel. In very rare cases, endometriosis can occur on organs outside the pelvis.

Endometriosis can cause cysts (endometrioma) to form on the ovaries. These are also called "chocolate cysts" because of the brown fluid they contain. These cysts may not cause you any pain - you may only find out about them during an internal examination to check your fertility. But if they burst they can cause severe pain and form adhesions.

In some women, endometriosis gets better on its own. But for most, it gets worse without treatment.

Symptoms

The symptoms of endometriosis can vary: some women have no symptoms at all, while others have severe pain. The most common symptom is pelvic pain that feels like period pain.

Other symptoms include:

    * severe period pain

    * back pain during menstruation

    * pain during sexual intercourse

    * changes to periods, such as a small loss of blood before the period is due (spotting), irregular bleeding or heavy periods

    * infertility

    * painful bowel movements

    * difficulty becoming pregnant

    * fatigue

Endometriosis on the bowel or bladder may cause swelling of the lower abdomen and pain when going to the toilet, or blood in the faeces during a period. Symptoms of endometriosis usually disappear after the menopause.

Diagnosis

The only way to be sure that you have endometriosis is for your doctor to look directly inside your abdomen. This needs to be done in hospital using a laparoscope: a thin tube that is inserted through a small cut in the skin just below the belly button (navel).

The examination is carried out under general anaesthesia, which means that you will be asleep throughout the procedure and will feel no pain. You will be asked to follow fasting instructions. Typically, you must not eat or drink for about six hours before a general anaesthetic. Some anaesthetists allow occasional sips of water until two hours beforehand.

If the doctor finds that you have endometriosis, he or she may remove a small piece of the endometrial tissue for testing. The examination takes about 30 minutes and you usually won't need to stay overnight in hospital. If you have mild or moderate endometriosis, it can sometimes be removed during your examination.

Answer 2

I had laparoscopy surgery a couple of weeks ago & that what I was worried about but it was scare tissue.

Make an appointment to so a gyno.

The pain during s*x has now also gone.
