Dear Kellie- I feel very sorry that people
dont understand. Its probably because of a
high blood estrogen that is causing all this.
Endo and fibroids feed and grow due to estrogen.
Take away the estrogen (lupron) and they have
nothing to feed on. I have heard nothing but
good news about micro laser surgery. I do wonder
though how they will keep the area protected from
more adhesions. Please ask your doctor about a
stress dose of steroid before surgery and a small
maintenance dose afterwards for about 6 months?
Why? Well, it keeps the inflammation and trauma
from surgery at a minimum and attribute that to
being so many years pain free and adhesion free.
If you are to have your ovaries out, then your
body wont be producing estrogen and the endo and
fibroids will resolve hopefully. I have had two
abdomenal surgeries. One in 91 and in 95. Laser
first, then excision of uterus due to fibroids,
left my ovaries in. When they take out organs like
a uterus, your intestines will shift down into that
empty cavity so thats a key time for adhesions to
happen. Thats why you feel your insides will spill
out after a hysterectomy. P.S. Pregnancy will
cause your estrogen to spike sky high. So much for
that just have another baby idea. Good luck and
stay strong. Deborah
