Hello . I just saw my obgyn yesterday for vaginal pain . I went in with the suspicion of endometriosis and after the dr had a clean ultra sound but then we did a pap snd it hurt me so much I was all but screaming. I'm still in pain . Anyways he told me my options .

1. Birth control but only to control period lengths no help with pain or anything . ( no thanks)
2. Go in snd see if there is endo and remove it all but if there is snd he removes it, there is a possibility it comes back.
3. Remove everything but overies.
4. Try pain management ( I didn't get details because in the past pain management has been a nightmare with doctors not wanting to give actual pain meds .)

I'm a monster on my time of the month . I'm in pain all the time . I cannot have a sex life . But my biggest scare was not being able to have another kid and taking it away so oerminantly when I still have some years left .. but on the other hand m. My almost 2 yr old is such a handful and she is autistic and my pregnancy was a nightmare and postpartum is still here almost 3 yrs later.

So now my second biggest worry is... what serious complications or side effects can I have if I get this surgery?

I already have intercystal cystitis, gastroparesis fibromyalgia, athsma , depression , anxiety, adhd , acid reflex and I csnt think of what else . So

If you have had this surgery around my age , did you have more issues after or were you better ? No more pain? Better life ? I wanna make the right decision .

My sister just got hers removed but she is 40 snd has 5 kids. So it's a bit different . All advice helps thank you so much
