My Post-Operative Reaction

When I saw my record after my operation in the post-operative diagnosis column it says Pelvic Endometriosis stage IV; Ovarian cyst, bilateral; Hydrosalpinges; Pelvic Adhesive Disease, I realized that I had multiple problems I did not even know existed in me for a long time.

I had my lap last Oct. 15 this year administered by Dra. Zoraida Umipig, who is a very good gynecologic endoscopic surgeon. I did not even feel the pain those women in the net horribly described when you administered yourself in laparoscopy procedure. Yes, I felt a little pain but not the pain that will make me take a pain reliever. The few things that I remembered before my operation were the nurse gave me a shot that supposed to make me relaxed, then they transported me to the OR and a doctor interviewed me several things, and lastly I remembered they put a mask on my face then I blackout.... thats it.

Then a nurse shook me to wake up and the first thing I said after the operation was "Tapos na ba?". I remembered well that the nurse answered "Opo" then I slept again for the entire day.

What is this pelvic endometriosis and what does stage IV means. I did some research and I found vital information. This link might help http://www.aafp.org/afp/991015ap/1753.html those women who are experiencing this problem.

For the hydrosalpinges... are dilated and occluded fallopian tubes generally the result of a prior pelvic infection. It's a disease that is like the other end of the fallopian tube is blocked and it caused the tube to be filled with toxic fluid.

Thank God, these problems, these diseases are removed already in my system with the help of my obgyne Dr. Umipig and the good doctors of UDMC hospital.

I want to thank the following Doctors who took good care of me before, during and after my operation. They are Dr. Conrado Carnero, anesthesiologist; Dr. Martinez, obgyne; Dr. Young Airoso, obgyne; Dr. Querimit, obgyne; Dr. Millanes, obgyne; the nurses assigned at the fourth floor under obstetrics and gynecology department.

Lastly I want to thank the LORD ALMIGHTY for His love, healing, and guidance.
