In general, for the first couple of days after endometriosis surgery, you may experience bloating and discomfort from the gas that was used to distend your abdominal cavity for the laparoscopy. You will also have some cramping and post-operative soreness/tenderness.
At PRM, we commonly see patients with pelvic pain following their surgery because endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease process that promotes inflammation in the pelvis and irritates the nerves, causing your muscles to go into a chronic spastic guarding state. Even when the endometriosis is properly removed surgically, the nerve irritation and inflammation, along with a spastic pelvic floor remain.
Our pelvic pain specialists are experts in recognizing the symptoms of and diagnosing pelvic pain conditions. With The PRM Protocol, we go further than addressing the symptoms on the surface – we treat the underlying causes of pelvic pain.
