Answer
Dear Melissa,   Your doctors are definately NOT EXPERTS when it comes to their knowledge of endometriosis...  It is a KNOWN FACT that a hysterectomy will NOT always get all of the endo tissue and what is left behind will continue to grow...  It is also a WELL known fact that endo tissue can spread to the bladder, pelvic area, brain and other organs in the body including the colon....

You need to tell your doctors to go back to school on Endometriosis...  To tell you that endo can not be a diagnosis since you had a hysterectomy, is totally rediculous.....  You need an expert in endometriosis and you need an exploratory of your gladder, colon etc to see if there is any endo tissue that was left behing after the hysterectomy....

I hope this helps and thank you,   karen
