After surgery, it’s common to feel physically drained, but what we don’t talk about enough is the emotional impact of recovery. Many people describe feeling isolated, disconnected from their support networks, or unsure of how to reach out again.

In this blog, we’ll explore why social support matters so much during recovery, and offer gentle, practical ways to reconnect, even if you’re not quite sure where to start.

Navigating uncertainty is one of the hardest parts of the endometriosis journey, especially when you’ve gone through the process of a laparoscopy and come out the other side without a clear diagnosis.

Preparing for surgery can feel overwhelming- there’s so much to think about, both physically and emotionally. That’s where prehab and rehab come in. These simple, evidence-based strategies can make a real difference to how you recover and feel after surgery.

When it comes to endometriosis, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach and choosing to have surgery is a deeply personal decision. It’s not something I ever took lightly, and it’s not the only path to relief. But for me, at three different points in my journey, surgery felt like the right choice. Looking back, each of those decisions came from a place of wanting to protect my health and quality of life and I do not regret undergoing any of those procedures.

Research confirms what many patients have known for years: endometriosis is associated with significantly higher rates of insomnia, poor sleep quality, and daytime fatigue compared to those without the condition.
