HI...DOES ANYONE KNOW IF HAVING A HYSTERECTOMY WILL STOP THE PRODUCTION OF ENDOMETRIOSIS? I HEARD IF YOU DON'T TAKE HORMONE THERAPY (ESTROGEN) FOR A FEW YEARS IT SHOULD HELP CLEAR IT UP. (SINCE ENDO IS ESTROGEN FED) I'M ALSO WONDERING WHY NO ONE ON THIS WEBSITE MENTIONS IT AS A REMEDY. I REALIZE A LOT OF YOU STILL WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN, BUT FOR THE REST OF YOU, HAS IT BEEN RECOMMENDED AS AN OPTION? I JUST HAD SURGERY 8 DAYS AGO TO HAVE A LARGE CHOCOLATE CYST(7CM)REMOVED FROM MY RIGHT OVARY. THEY ENDED UP HAVING TO REMOVE MY OVARY AND FALLOPIAN TUBE. WHILE DOING THE SURGERY THE DR DISCOVERED THAT THE ENDO WAS MORE EXTENSIVE THAN HE THOUGHT. HE'S VERY CONCERNED ABOUT AN AREA OF MY COLON. HE CAUTERIZED IT SO MUCH THAT HE WAS AFRAID HE MIGHT PUNCTURE IT. NOW I HAVE TO GET A BARRIUM ENEMA (O BOY!) TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY BLOCKAGES INSIDE. SO... BACK TO MY QUESTION... WILL A HYSTERECTOMY END ALL OF THIS? I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING HAVING THE OTHER OVARY REMOVED WHILE I'M STILL ON DISIBILITY. ANY INFO WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
