As I said awhile back, I have had off/on vaginal bleeding, some cramping since the total hysterectomy for endometriosis. The bleeding always lasts 1 day at most, usually just a few hours. So by the time i arrive at the dr, the bleeding has stopped. My primary care dr. finally told me to come in without an appt. So last week, it happened again (after 2 months of nothing). This time the dr could see that it was coming from the scar where the hysterectomy was closed up (vaginal cuff area0. There was a little of breakthrough endometriosis and will need to be cauterized/removed.

I've been told by several drs, plus I've read that endometriosis goes away after menopause, but after 4 yrs of surgical menopause, it doesn't seem like it is going away. Is this true, that endometriosis goes away after menopause? Also do you know how the breakthrough will be cauterized/removed? Will they cut me open? Will it require a local or general anesthesia or no anesthesia?
