This  about the endrometriosis still grows after histrorectomy?

Sorry Maggie you are incorrect. Endometriosis is the presence of normal endometrial mucosa (glands and stroma) ABNORMALLY implanted in locations OTHER than the uterine cavity. This tissue, possessing the same steroid receptors as normal endometrium, is capable of responding to the normal cycles of hormones. One theory of spread is thought to be dispersion of ectopic (meaning where it should not be) inplants throughout the peritoneal cavity (area where your bowels, liver reside) during menstruation, since sloughing off of products of endometrial tissue from the uterus is not just unidirectional (out through the cervix then vagina, but also up through the fallopian tubes leading to the body cavity known as retrograde flow. This is common in women and can't fully explain endometriosis. Endometriosis has even been found on structures even above the diaphragm. Endometriosis responds and is driven by estrogen. There are reports of women with endometriosis occuring after hysterectomy and removal of the ovaries (which makes estrogens). Women normally continue to make lower levels of weaker estrogens even after their ovaries have been removed. Some women for whatever reason continue to make high levels, and this is thought to be a reason for further symptoms.\n\nTo answer your question simply, yes, it can still grow

Tumors that are smaller than 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) are called microadenomas. Microadenomas rarely damage the rest of the pituitary or neighboring tissues. They produce symptoms because of the excessive amounts of hormone they secrete.\n\nDetailed Guide: Pituitary Tumor \nWhat Happens After Treatment? \n \nCompleting treatment can be both stressful and exciting. You will be relieved to finish treatment, yet it is hard not to worry about cancer coming back. (When cancer returns, it is called recurrence.) This is a very common concern among those who have had cancer. \n\nIt may take a while before your confidence in your own recovery begins to feel real and your fears are somewhat relieved. Even with no recurrences, people who have had cancer learn to live with uncertainty.

I had a L5, S1 herniated disc.  I tried 6 months of physical therapy which helped to a point, but I was still in severe pain at times.  I went ahead and had the surgery and I'm so glad I did.  It took a while after the surgery for the pain to completely go away.  I'm told it took so long (about 9 months) for the pain to away because my sciatic nerve was so emflammed for so long.  Once the disk was removed from the nerve, the pain was eventually gone.  I feel so much better now (2 years later).  I only get minor aches from time to time (mainly in the morning or if it rains outside -- strange I know).  These pains are much more managable than the constant shooting pain I had with the herniated disc.  I definitely recommend the surgery for the long-term.

is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus (the endometrium, from endo, "inside", and metra, "womb") is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. Endometriosis primarily develops in women of the reproductive age.\n\nThe definitive treatment for endometriosis is a total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and surrounding tissue) and bilateral salpingoophorectomy (removal of the uterine tubes and ovaries).  So no it doesn't occur after a hysterectomy.

YES, get a second opinion!!!  It's unusual for an adult to have an umbilical hernia.  A hernia is a tear in the muscle and the protrusion is his intestine coming through the tear.  In children, this will naturally heal as they grow (most of the time).  In adults, it will probably need a repair which is no big deal.  However, it can get larger and that intestine can become "strangled" and lose circulation.  Then you have severe problems. See a surgeon.  God Bless.

No, but a man I know who had it has been in remission for over 5 years.  Best wishes.  It must be scary wondering if it will come back.\n\nThink positively and get lots of exercise to boost your immune system!!

I just had the surgery a month ago and it took about two weeks and and half to go down.  But my stomach has not been right since then.  A friend of mine had the same thing and it took her a month for the swelling to go down.

Could be bad enough that surgery is required; you will need to know the CIN numbers (invasion level).  Surgery could potentially be inpatient and could be cryo.

The endometrium is the tissue that lines the uterus. During each menstrual cycle, a new endometrium grows, preparing for a possible pregnancy. If you do not become pregnant during that cycle, the endometrium is shed, which you know as your menstrual period. Endometriosis is endometrium tissue that grows outside of the uterus. This usually occurs on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the outer surface of the uterus, the bowels, or other abdominal organs. Rarely, it can affect other organs and structures in the body. Endometriosis that does not cause symptoms or causes only mild symptoms usually does not require medical treatment.  Treatment of endometriosis that is causing moderate to severe pain includes:\nIdentification and removal of endometrial tissue throughlaparoscopy. Endometrial implants may be destroyed by laser beam or electric current (electrocautery), or cut away and removed during the procedure. \nUse of medications that shrink the endometrial implants and control symptoms. \nSurgery to remove the uterus and ovaries (hysterectomy and oophorectomy). Many women with endometriosis can conceive naturally. For those who have difficulty, surgery often provides a "window of opportunity" during which the chances of conception increase. In a study that was done, 172 women underwent laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis. Of those, 50 became pregnant within 36 weeks. The authors attributed a 13% increase in the probability of pregnancy to the surgical treatment.

Endometriosis. Honey, we should talk. If you heard my story, you would understand why I say that. Just because you had it 12 years ago that does not mean it has gone away. It actually goes into remission and becomes active again. It acts and spreads like cancer but it is not. It can spread to any part of your body. Just because you may (guessing) have had it taken care of 12 years ago does not mean anything. If the doctor leaves just one cell, and keep in mind the size of cells and they can be white, red, or clear, it will multiply again. The only way to ensure it is endo is to have a lap. No ultrasound, cat scan, pap smear or any other kind of test can ensure that is what it is. The only thing that may tip dr's off to it is if you have a chocolate cyst and it shows up on the ultrasound. If it's just scar tissue and endo cells, to verify that's what it is, they have to go in.

It will return to the normal size 95% of the time. It does take 4-10 weeks, depending on your healing abilities.

After one week you should have had more recovery than you have had.  There is a risk of infection with any invasive procedure but from what you say, it doesn't sound like it.  I'm sure you'll mention this when you hear from the doctor and you'll have your answer.

Usually, by the time a tumour is clinically detectable, it will be several centimeters in diameter, have acquired a blood supply, and may have spread to other organs. While surgery may be successful in removing the primary tumour, it is often difficult to detect, let alone excise, the secondary tumours. Further, removal of the primary tumour may stimulate the secondary tumours to enter a phase of rapid growth and to initiate their own vasculature. The resulting damage to vital organs can have fatal consequences for the patient.

Just had one done.  The doctor explained to me that when they remove a polyp from the colon they remove it all not just a portion.  After removing it they cauterize the area.  If the polyp is too large to remove all of it, they leave it there and schedule regular surgery to remove it all.  Any growth is dangerous.  Even the benign ones.  I would recommend discussing this with a doctor for the best answer possible.

Sort of. I got sick again a few months after mine, and apparently it was becuz there were still a few gallstones  in my stomach somewhere. It took a long time to feel better, but still have the pain and "funny" sensation once in a great while. Depending on how long you had the problem before it was removed, it could cause scarring.

are struggling to breathe over there??\n\nwell if you havent been to the doctor yet GO!\nif you have then its probably not a bad split and it will grow together in bout 4-6 weeks so limit excessive movement in that area eg. trunk rotation or unilateral arm movements-do bilateral ones instead. \n\nliving with this is gonna be painful tho!
