Endometriosis prevented me from having children, in addition to enduring pain. For decades doctors ignored my pain and condescended to me. When I finally had a hysterectomy, my uterus was glued to an intestine by endometrial scar tissue and that tissue was wrapped around my spinal column. The surgeon finally confirmed that I must have endured severe pain. Initially she was so distrustful that she required me to have a psychiatric evaluation. I’m 77 now and was hoping treatment had improved.
