I heard that some people have had dozens of surgeries, but are still in terrible pain. Why?
Regardless of whether a person has had ablation surgery, excision
surgery or a combination of the two, Endometriosis is really difficult
to remove.
Endometriosis can:
* hide between the folds of the super thin tissue surrounding the organs.
* be deeply embedded to the point where excising the entire lesion may
not be possible or safe for the patient.
* take on a ‘gunpowder’ or ‘splattergun’ look – where it’s just tiny specks
all over the place, and is too much to remove.
In Addition:
* Surgery itself leads to internal scarring, which can produce
more adhesions and pain.
* Endometriosis continues to form new lesions, so further surgeries
may, for some, be necessary.
* Some folks may also need pelvic floor physical therapy and other
treatments if there is pudendal neuralgia.
