Frozen pelvis
I was operated in 2 and a half years ago to remove a 12cm ovarian cyst. When they operated they discovered stage 4 endometriosis. Fast forward to now I have been in a lot of pain over the months and it has been discovered I have another ovarian cyst. During a consultation last week I was told that I have a frozen pelvis and should have been told this when I had the original operation. I am now on the waiting list for an MRI scan and a referral to an endometriosis team over 100 miles from where I stay to see about a hysterectomy and assessment on how attached all my other organs are. I have been told the waiting list is extremely long due to the pandemic. I was just wondering if anyone has gone through this type of operation and was it a successful outcome. Thanks
