Hell...I just found this page and I am eager to discuss the notion of continuing endometriosis long after a total hysterectomy. I had surgery 12 years ago and suspect that I still have endo. At surgery time the Dr. said he scraped endo. tissue off my bladder,bowels, intestines etc. NOW I have ( as well as 4 yrs ago) a bout of blood in my urine with severe abdominal cramps and I think I've been mis diagnosed with having a urinary infection. Antibiotics don't cut it!! Have you ever heard of this before? I will get back but I'm late for work...as usual. Later, Dinglecat
