Endo found during hysterectomy possible?
Hi sisters. I hate to be a pest on this one but I am curious to all my sisters out there who have or had endometriosis, if any of you had endo accumulated around the coccyx or tailbone area. Reason being, my doctor believes that may be the case with me having so much pain around my tailbone from time to time. He chose to do the TAH route because I don't have any children and also because he can have access to everything he needs to get to. Have any of you had this problem found during your surgery?
Thanks to all my sisters in advance. Hugs!

I didnt have it in those specific areas, but they found it during surery. I had no idea, yet when reading the symptoms associated with endo, I'm sorta stunned it never dawned on me that could be the trigger.
Good luck!!!!!

I had severe endo, but not sure if I had it in the tailbone...it was allover....but they really never know for sure until they are inside...I also had an abdominal surgery done, so they can have easy access to it all.....

When you say tailbone, I'm wondering if what you are referring to is endo of the cul-de-sac? That is typically a very painful place for endo and often causes tailbone pain. Hugs!!!

Hey there. Yes, in the cul-de-sac or also known as the pouch of douglas. I hope that he does find it there because that will finally tell me why I have been having pain back there so badly from time to time. I can't lay on my back for an extended time frame because I will wake up from falling asleep like that and I am in so much pain. Wild! Hugs to all of you for your advice and suggestions.
