Question 1

i had blocked tubes near the uterus and i was told it was due to endometriosis. how often does this happen?

Accepted Answer

Common: Endometriosis often causes scarring and obstruction of the fallopian tubes. That is a common mechanism by which endometriosis can cause infertility. When endometriosis is severe, this problem is extremely common. It is not usually caused with very mild stage 1 endometriosis.

Question 2

does a "cloudy" uterus in an ultrasound mean endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

??: Did they use that term in the report? I personally have never heard that term used.

Question 3

is it possible to remove deep-seeded endometriosis from behind the uterus?  i just had a lap and dr did not remove-in severe chronic pain

Accepted Answer

Laparoscopy : May with laparoscopic technique but you need to see a gynecologist that can do laser endoscopy and what  had expertise on endometriosis.

Question 4

i got diagnosed with cervical endometriosis. does this mean i probably have it in my uterus and other places as well? will this affect my fertility?

Accepted Answer

Endometriosis ?'s: Endometriosis is a disease caused by cells originating in the uterine lining, which are located in other areas such as the abdomen, colon, tubes and ovaries, and cause menstrual pain and scarring which can compromise fertility.  If not desirous of pregnancy, the best treatment is low dose continuous oral contraceptives .  For fertility, ask about a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) for blocked tubes.

Question 5

hi, i possibly suffer from endometriosis, 
is it normal for my uterus to go from anteverted and anteflexed ( in april 2019) to retroverted and retroflexed, plus its now tilting to the left( october 2019 ) and for me to have severe pain ?

Accepted Answer

Uterine flexibility: The uterus is suspended by 3 supporting ligaments or guide wires that allow the uterus to move in space normally. The severe pain may be due to Endometriosis but needs evaluation by a GYN MD to confirm as a possible cause.

Question 6

is it possible to remove deep seeded endometriosis from behind the uterus ?

Accepted Answer

Risk versus benefit: It is possible, however the risk benefit analysis may be in favor of non operative therapy. Endometriosis is misplaced uterine lining. It has escaped your uterus and takes up residence on other organs. Your surgeon is the best doc to discuss your risk. It is not simple to remove these pesky implants.

Question 7

diagnosed with 2 endometria... one 7mm and the other 12mm. she said i have an enlarged uterus. does this mean i have endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you were told you had 2 "endometriomas", you need to know that a pelvic sonogram may be "suggestive" of endometrial/endometriotic cysts but unfortunately may not be an accurate diagnosis. 2 small hemorrhagic cysts may resemble 2 endometriomas and will often resolve spontaneously. Not endometriosis.  If your "enlarge uterus" has 2 "endometrias", you have a congenital anomaly, not endometriosis.

Question 8

is a uterus size 9x4x5cm witj a hemging cyst size18x9x13 normal with endomertiom of 6mm thicnkness in a 32 year old woman. that has endometriosis ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you mean 18mmX9mmX13mm then yes, but if the measurement was cm (centimeters) then that's very large and needs to be addressed.  A hemorrhagic corpus luteum (cyst that forms after ovulation) is normal and 18 mm (millimeters) in size is quite normal.  Your endometrial thickness is fine as is your uterine size.

Question 9

so does taking out my uterus and cervix cure endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Definitive surgical treatment of endometriosis includes removing the ovaries and tubes in addition to the uterus.  The cure rate is about 95% with that surgery. If you keep your ovaries, the cure rate is about 40% with the other 60% requiring additional surgery to remove the ovaries later.

Question 10

endometriosis related to thick uterus lining even after menopause?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Endometriosis is related to estrogen. After menopause a woman's estrogen goes way down and endomtriosis isn't as painful.  Thick lining of the uterus after menopause needs an endometrial biopsy to make sure no precancerous cells are growing.
