during CNY period, my partner complain that she had a abdominal pain. day after day it got worst. so we had go for doctor consultation and after ultrasound check, found out that she is diagnoses with Endometriosis on her ovary. this morning she went again to consult the doctor and confirmed that she need to undergo surgery to remove it by this week.

Anyone here or their partner had encounter this before, and can enlighten me what need to be done before and after surgery ? any special cares needed or food to avoid during the period.

Nothing special food wise.

everyday now i see she is struggling with pain which make me heart-pain and sadly i can't do anything about it until she undergo for surgery. furthermore she reluctant to take any painkillers.

actually what can i do beside buying a lot of berries for her to eat and ask her to drink more water ?

time..........

endometriosis pain level is at peak at periods. so after that will feel better.

for the past weeks, i already occupied all my time to be with her and console her.

is just a feeling inside me that i didn't help her much.

looking at her face expression, can see the pain is quite intense.

Ask her why she is reluctant to take painkillers. Find out if it's a reasonable decision (actual previous episode of significant side effect of painkiller use) or personal opinion.

Since it's an acute pain episode, I don't really see the reason for not taking any analgesics indicated by her doctor.

at last she got a slot for surgery this thursday. will undergo Laparoscopy surgery in Columbia Asia to get rid of it. I'm kinda feel a bit relieve now as the pain in her will be gone soon.

Hopefully she is fine now. How is she now after surgery? Where is her cyst and how big is it?

I have friend with endometriosis. Feel so bad for her.

I had a chocolate cyst removed about 8-9 years ago.

I didnot have any endometriosis symptoms. But that cyst was caused by endo. No pain for me. Everythign was normal.

It's genetic- my mum had BAD endo. Like cannot get out of bed, heavy periods, MC for 3-5 days kind. She had a full hystrectomy and only that seemed to help.

Endo can return. It sucks, because the cause is ovulation. The endometrium lining grows somewhere else other than the uterine wall, and that is what causes the heavy bleeding and pain.
