Question 1

can indametriosis remain after a complete hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Endometriosus is the lining of your uterus migrating out of your fallopian tubes and implanting in the abdomen, on the bowel or bladder or pelvic walls.  Having a hysterectomy will not remove this, it will have to be treated to clear it.  Usually with laser or cautery.  This may be done at hysterectomy, or as a separate procedure.  Removing the ovaries can help as well.

Question 2

i have indometriosis and i try a pregnancy test. the result is faint in control line and dark in test line. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Test positive: If the test line is positive they means you are pregnant.  Congratulations.

Question 3

am i having symptoms of indometriosis. why am i having severe vaginal pain with tightness in that area along with green discharge containing bloody clots.

Accepted Answer

Severe : Severe vaginal pain, discharge, and clots could indicate a bacterial infection. Endometriosis is a possibility, but less likely. I recommend you schedule an appointment with your gynecologist or primary care provider for a pap smear and pelvic exam. Other testing may be in order as well (std check, ultrasound), and if endometriois is a possibility then a more invasive type of surgical diagnostic test may be in order. Your doctor will be able to guide you through the diagnostic protocol.
Good luck.

Question 9

does endometriosis affect fertility?

Accepted Answer

YES!: Endometriosis affects many aspects of fertility. In many women endometriosis causes ovarian cysts, causes damage to fallopian tubes, causes inflammation of the uterus, and may decrease the ability of the sperm to get inside the egg (fertilization). Even with fertility treatments women with endometriosis have lower pregnancy rates so it is something to see a fertility specialist about sooner.
