Endometriosis laparoscopy

Hey! Just an update as my queue is now empty, warning this does talk about some health stuff! (Firstly, masterlist here for navigation)
Tomorrow I'm having a surgery, my second laparoscopy, a mirena insertion and a surgical procedure for bladder endometriosis. I'm pretty nervous but I'm especially nervous as it'll be my first laparoscopy since my lupus diagnosis. One of my organs that has endometriosis is my kidneys, which is also an organ concern for lupus. (Feel free to give movie recs here as I'll probably check some stage over the next few days)
I've had what feels like non-stop lupus flare ups the last year so I'm extremely anxious. I was hoping to finish writing a fic and schedule post some fundraisers etc but that just didn't happen because this weekend but I've been 1) extremely busy with so many things, 2) depressed because of what happened here and 3) really anxious! I haven't been as active on tumblr the last month and like 80% of posts have been scheduled.
I won't be posting for a few days if not weeks and I can't guarantee when I'll be posting or replying to messages. Maybe during this recovery period I'll be able to finish the Shiv Roy x reader, and Kendall Roy x reader Desperate to Please sequel, and start my Nathan Bateman series. So please don't hate me for the wait, I'm sorry! You're more than welcome to send thoughts in, comment or message though!
Please give me movie and show recs too! If you've given me recs in the last few months please feel free to drop them here again to remind me, I've got a notebook to actually write them in and not just do mental lists lol.
Also, if you can please donate to and share some of these campaigns for Palestinians here Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundraiser List - Google Sheets and follow @gaza-evacuation-funds, @/nabulsi, @/el-shab-hussein, and @/90-ghost!

Laparoscopic exploratory surgery pics below the cut!
Wish they'd given me an actual CD with the pictures but pics of the print out is the best I can do for now. Can you spot the problem?
There she is.
It takes up more space than I thought. But it's still wild how something seemingly so small can be disabling. Gotta have a coping game plan going forward, because it's gonna probably take 6+ months until surgery #2 to get this bitch out of me for good. :') Just made a medical binder for all future appointments, still have a lot more to print out and organize.

I recently had a diagnostic laparoscopy because my doctor and I were sure I had endometriosis. None was found (although I’m not entirely convinced it’s not the problem but I’m no expert) but what was found was just… So much scar tissue. Things were stuck to other things and I had an organ twisted out of place. The biggest thing for my long term health (I think) that was found- and this might be TMI but really is anyone going to read this?- my fallopian tubes are completely blocked. Meaning I can’t have children unless I either get that treated or use IVF. I didn’t particularly want to have children, at least not by using my body. But it’s weird knowing that it’s not even really an option for me. I’m not sure I’ve really processed this information; I just feel numb about it. Apparently blocked fallopian tubes are a fairly common cause of infertility. Infertility. Is that something I have to identify with now? Do I have to say I’m infertile? I’m really adding to my list of adjectives over here. Chronically ill, disabled, mentally ill, lesbian, nonbinary, neurodivergent… infertile? I guess I am. It’s such a strange feeling. I don’t know what to do with it. Oh, and we don’t know exactly what caused the scarring. My doctor’s best guess was some sort of infection but I don’t remember ever having any kind of infection that would cause this. I thought this would give me answers but I feel just as confused as before. But I’ve deemed “fixed” and he said I only need to be seen for routine screenings anyone my age would get. Maybe I’m supposed to be satisfied with that. Maybe I want too much out of my doctors, I don’t know. All I know is I don’t really… have anyone to talk to about this. Not anyone who knows what to say. It’s fine though, I don’t even know what I want to hear.

Hi, I'm Billie!!
I may have endometriosis and/or adenomyosis or I might have primary dysmenorrhea
I had a laparoscopy in October 2023 that revealed no endo, although my gynecologist says I could have it in such small amounts that it isn't visible to her
I've tried Depo-Provera, Lupron Depot, and Alysena 21 to suppress my period
I'm going to be asking at my next gynecology appointment if I could have a hysterectomy because a lot of medications have failed me (not just for my reproductive health) and I'd just like to have this over with, plus we could then send my uterus to pathology to have it assessed for adenomyosis
I'm also considering asking my nurse practitioner for a referral to an endometriosis specialist, to see if they can spot any endo that my regular gynecologist missed
I have a tag called #the estrogen is slapping right now which I started when I went on Lupron where I talk about all of this, and you should check it out!! I'm non-binary so I want to be here as a trans-friendly resource for those looking into puberty blockers, birth control, surgeries, etc.
If you have any questions, send me an ask or a DM!!

So I've had a laparoscopy on Wednesday - that's a minor operation where the surgeon cuts into your belly. In my case to see if I have endometriosis.
And it turns out I do indeed have endometriosis, and, more importantly, adenomyosis, which is kinda the same thing except the "bad" tissue is inside the uterus rather than outside of it.
I've been back home since Friday morning and everything is healing well and practically not hurting anymore.
And now I finally know what's wrong with me - and that there IS something wrong with me. That my constant exhaustion and tiredness, my chronic pain, my being unable to do so many things and my struggling to do so many others does have an actual reason, an actual source. People will finally have to take my problems seriously. And maybe, there's even something to be done to improve things.
I can't even begin to say what an incredible relief that is. What that's doing to my emotional state. How incredibly happy and hopeful I am. Or rather, how incredibly defeated and hopeless I've been until now, which is only becoming properly apparent now in comparison.
At the same time I'm also angry. It's been a damn long journey to get to this point. And yet I know that in comparison, I'm fairly lucky and got my diagnosis relatively early. Many others need to search and fight to be taken seriously a lot longer than I have.
Research on endometriosis has made great steps forward in recent years, but there's still a lot of details that we straight up don't know. Starting with what causes endometriosis and is it something you're born with or something you develop at some point?
I guess I just...needed to yell all that out into the void.
Maybe some day I'll make a post about all the things I learned along the way and what resources would have helped me if I'd already known about them at the beginning of my journey.

i hate that the medical industry doesn't take reproductive health seriously when you have a uterus/ovaries. i hate that the only solution for 99% of issues is birth control unless you visually have an immediate complication, and even then sometimes the answer is still just birth control. i hate that companies don't let you have paid time off. i hate that asking for help is seen as weak or that you're lazy for being unable to do it all alone.
#im going to fucking throw up from both pain + stress i am so fucking angry#why! do i have to try and convince doctors they should do a laparoscopy on me to check for endo#when i am left unable to even take care of myself on my worst days#when i have uncountable blood clots the size of nickels and quarters and larger every single period#when i have pain from my ribs to my knees#when its been shown that there is a connection between my connective tissue disorder + endometriosis#when i have a family history of endometriosis#and even if i can!! convince the drs!! theres no point!#bc it's just my partner and i and our kid and he cant take off work to help me recover#and meanwhile in recovery I'd be completely unable to tend to a toddler#so literally what is the fucking point!!!!!#i want to fucking scream and scream and scream#mine#rambles#will probably delete this later#im just#so fucking pissed rn

Symptoms of Chocolate Cysts
A chocolate cyst, also known as an endometrioma, is a type of ovarian cyst filled with old blood resembling chocolate syrup. It occurs due to endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. These cysts can cause pelvic pain, especially during menstruation, and may affect fertility. Treatment options include pain management, hormonal therapy, or surgical removal, depending on the severity of symptoms and fertility concerns. Regular monitoring and medical intervention are essential for managing chocolate cysts effectively.
Chocolate Cysts Symptoms
Here’s a list of symptoms that you may encounter:
Painful, crampy periods
Pelvic pain not related to your menstrual cycle
Irregular periods
Pain during sex
Infertility for some women

Shit..
Excuse the language but today has been heavy.
I had a hospital appointment at noon today with gynecology and I saw a endometriosis nurse. We talked about my symptoms and my chronic pelvic pain I've had a for a year. It sounds like I have endo...
I signed a pre op form for a laparoscopy to hopefully get the answers I desperately need. I'm scared, not of the surgery as I've previously had surgery and lived but I'm scared of the answer. The thing I want the most.. is terrifying.

Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy – Trusted Expert for Endometriosis and Fibroid Treatment in Pune
When it comes to finding a reliable gynecologist in Pune, Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy is a name you can trust. He is known for his expertise in treating complex gynecological conditions such as Endometriosis and Fibroids. His approach combines compassion with the latest medical techniques to ensure the best care for his patients.
Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a painful condition where the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside it, affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. Women suffering from endometriosis may experience severe menstrual pain, discomfort during intercourse, and even fertility issues.
Dr. Reddy uses advanced diagnostic methods like laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique, to confirm the presence of endometriosis. Through this method, he can visualize the inside of the abdomen and treat the condition effectively, providing relief to patients.
Treating Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and frequent urination. Depending on the size and location of the fibroids, Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy may recommend hysteroscopy to treat fibroids. This technique involves inserting a thin telescope into the uterus to view and remove fibroids without major surgery.
Both conditions can have a major impact on a woman’s quality of life. Dr. Reddy ensures personalized care to address these concerns, using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and hysteroscopy that result in faster recovery times and minimal scarring.
A Comprehensive Approach
Whether it’s managing painful periods caused by endometriosis or treating fibroids, Dr. Reddy’s approach is patient-centered. He explains each step of the diagnosis and treatment process, making sure his patients understand their condition and feel comfortable with their care.
By choosing Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy for your gynecological health, you are opting for a doctor who prioritizes your well-being and comfort. His expertise in treating complex conditions like endometriosis and fibroids ensures that you are in safe hands. https://gynaeclaproscopicsurgeon.com/blog/2024/10/11/gynecologist-doctor-in-pune/

Finding Relief from Chronic Pelvic Pain
One of the complications that many women experience is chronic pelvic pain which can be due to, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and pelvic infections. At the Visionary Centre for Women, Dr. Hayes diagnoses the pain you are experiencing and determines the cause of it. Laparoscopy, a surgical procedure which allows evaluating gynecologic disorders, can be named as one of the effective diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The benefit of this procedure includes the ability to treat conditions such as adhesions and endometriosis meaning that the pain that you are experiencing and which is affecting your quality of life can be dealt with in one procedure. Should you find your selfuffering from chronic pelvic pain it is recommended that you seek professional assistance. To some extent, the prognosis depends on the early diagnosis, as well as the individual approach concerning the necessary therapeutic techniques.

Was just having that conversation last night with @schizodiaries about thinking/reminiscing(?) about the hospital and now here I am looking through my BFF groupchat messages from the day of my laparoscopy
The first thing I sent from the hospital was this selfie taken in the waiting room at registration captioned with "Greetings from the hospital"
(I can see at the bottom that my shirt is red, and it was my officially licensed Last of Us shirt... I also had black track pants and a grey cardigan bc I'm still gonna be putting together an outfit while heading to the hospital where I will leave with holes in my abdomen)
Here is the stuffed animal I brought with me... I asked the first nurse what to do with Ulana, thinking I'd get told "Oh you can just leave her in your room" or "You should probably put her away in your bag" but instead I was asked "Do you want me to ask if you can take her to the OR?" so Ulana stayed with me until I was on the operating table, where they took her and put her on my stretcher along with my mask and my glasses
(I went shopping several times in the months leading up to the surgery with the mission of finding a plushie to take to the hospital and the 3 plushies I nearly got instead were a pig in a hoodie from Miniso, a grey and white cat from Build-A-Bear, and a Jurassic World-branded t-rex from Toys R Us)
I remember immediately asking for my purse so I could get my phone once I was returned to my room and I believe this is the first thing I sent to anybody when I got out of surgery... I also texted my mom, messaged a few Discord servers, and posted on Tumblr
(And yes, we have the Mean Girls theme for our chat)
When I woke up in the PACU, I had like 3 blankets so I couldn't find Ulana among them and had to ask the nurse for help but then I immediately lost her again lol, I think I hit Ulana with my elbow when putting my glasses on
(I handle anesthesia weirdly well so while some people don't remember being returned to their rooms and the doctor said I wouldn't remember her coming to my room to tell me what she found, I actually even remember laying on my side with the oxygen mask on and sticking my fingers under it to wipe away drool as my first memory coming out of anesthesia)
It ended up being my left butt cheek, I remember taking off the band-aid and the EKG stickers in bed at home later that day
My mom noticed I had pads on my grocery list which I needed for the first week afterwards so before picking me up, she stopped at Shoppers and got me some pads and this big squishy unicorn bc I had a pegasus-unicorn with me for the surgery to remove my extra tooth when I was 7
#aside from getting an internal exam without my consent it was a positive experience#i went back 3 weeks later with timbits and a card for the nurses station#lowkey disappointed a hysterectomy is not happening any time soon lol#i get it bc its an 8 week recovery but it would be nice to a) one and done this shit and b) find out if i have adenomyosis#my anesthesiologist for my laparoscopy was the same one who did my consult#i got a consult bc im hypermobile and have heart and lung issues but i was doing so well that he seemed confused i was there#my surgery was a huge deal to me bc it would potentially give answers#and i didnt realise until afterwards when i was mad at my body how much i was expecting endometriosis#(it could still be endo but in such small amounts that it doesnt show up in surgery)#(and thus cannot be removed)#the estrogen is slapping right now#doctor bitchcraft
