Long story short, I've had 8 laproscopies/D&C/laser removal of endometriosis, tumor, cyst, lesions between the age of 23 and 34. At age 35 I had a partial hysterectomy and then at age 36 a complete hysterectomy. I've been having endo issues again. The pain, bloating, bowel issues, exhaustion. I have seen the specialists in Louisville, KY, they finished my hysterectomy. The Dr told me that the endo was so bad on my colon and uterers he was afraid to touch it as I would probably end up in a colostomy bag the rest of my life. This was 4 years ago. My symptoms are progressively getting worse. Where do I turn to for help removing the endo from my colon, uterers and anywhere else it's gone to now. I've heard of a Dr Redwine who may have experience in excising endo from the bowel. I'm tired of being cut on and want this to end. Any advice you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
You should consider discussing about treatment with medication to regress the endometrial growths, they are known to help. However they can give your virilising effects (excess hair growth, voice hoarseness, and facial hair ) due to their medication content.
These medications will completely knock out your periods until you are on it. The symptoms are also effectively controlled.
