Default endometriosis back again

I have been fighting endo for16 years. I had 2 children but it came back with fury after each. Took lupron for about a year. Had 6 lap surgery to have lasered out and finally at age 26 a complete hyst. I wear a hormone patch .05mg but every few years it manages to come back. Between that and massive scar tissue, (2 c-sections, 9 lap, and hysterectomy) I end up having yet another surgery. Any ideas on how to stop the surgery train? Because guess what it is back again and I've been putting it off for several months now but I'm coming to my breaking point.

Wow, so sorry to hear about the tough time you've been having with this. I have it too, but have only had one lap in 2006, and a bunch of complications to the meds prescribed.. no kids but want to try if I can get well enough.

I am one who's been so sensitive to the meds, I am scared of lupron.. I cant tolerate the pain meds well either, but make do with Toradol and tylenol. I am finding much more success with giving up gluten, sugar, convenience foods and dairy. I still actually eat yogurt, but I'm trying to switch to sauerkraut and kombucha for my probiotics.

Heal your gut as much as possible with things like the GAPS diet.. go on a candida killing protocol and load up on probiotics (food sources or capsules, google how to make kombucha and sauerkraut). Be careful with what meds you're on.. avoid alcohol and food chemicals. My guess is your system's pretty sensitive!

Another thing I've found helpful is Mayan Abdominal Massage, if you can find a practitioner to teach you this self care technique, or read about it, and this lovely Maya Moon Oil https://www.arvigotherapy.com/rainforest/node/110

Another great thing is applying castor oil to your abdomen, and doing some abdominal self massage every night before bed. The massage breaks up adhesions and the oil is very healing for the tissues.

Good luck with this.. write and let me know how you're doing!

Hi there,

Did this come about or increase because of head trauma? I've been experience pain in the pelvic area after my concussion. Thanks,

VB

I definitely had more problems with endo after my concussion. I have also had two friends develop reproductive problems after their accident, which involved concussion for both of them. I do believe that concussion, does create hormone regulation problems, perhaps via the pituitary gland getting squished, or some other function of trauma, perhaps increased stress hormones, or an impinged vertebra somewhere in the spine from whiplash? Not a lot of research out on this, but for me, it was like night and day, before and after my car accident.
