Full hysterectomy
by Kelly
(Mississauga, Ontario)
I was told I had endometriosis by a gynaecologist. I took his word for it and had surgery. My symptom was painful sex. My boyfriend could not enter. The doctor could not examine me at all.
Had a laparoscopy done to be examined and then was told I had the endometriosis. I was stressed out and confused believing what I heard to be true.
After the organs were sent to the lab and my results came back it read no endometriosis on every organ. I still have the pain when being intimate and no other doctor will give me the truth behind why I was given this surgery?
Now I am being told it is muscle spasm of the vaginal wall.
