Is it normal to have pain 4 mths after surgery to remove endometrioma?
Related Topics
I have history of painful period but I did not find out that I have endometriosis until the pain extended to beyond period pain. After the surgery, I still have pain post period (not so much unbearable pain but nagging pain in the pelvis area and back).
I was hoping that the pain will go away after surgery. Is there anything I can do? -

It is not uncommon to experience some degree of ongoing pelvic pain even after surgery for endometriosis. This can be for a number of reaons;
1. The original surgery was inadequate and did not remove ALL the disease - obviously if this is the case then pain will persist
2. The endometriosis has recurred - unlikely so soon after treatment if complete
3. The chronic effect of endometriosis on pelvic pain receptors - having experienced pain in this area for so many years it is unlikely one would ever be completely pain free.
In our practice many patients have a Mirena IUD inserted at the time of their original surgery to avoid this problem of post-operative painReport this post
