    Hi Christina

    I have had a similar experience to yourself

    I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago aged 37

    After years of suffering from daily pain from endo

    I was told it was severe and was

    Everywhere cervix ( had this removed)

    Bladder and bowel.

    I have had years of ongoing problems with my bowels and bladder. I had to have my

    Appendix removed recently.

    I have been told that the endo should now

    Be gone but it is still on my bladder ect.

    I'm not sure if it could be in your breast

    But I would ask if you could see a specialist.

    Did you keep your ovaries?

    I have never heard of Endometriosis in breast tissue, I tried to google it too. 

    I would ask a specialist to be sure. It is in case extremely unusual.

    You should have your breast checked by a doc.

    hi, i believe you can get endo anywhere. i have had full hysterectomy and years later, just 6 months on estrogen hrt patches have caused no end of issues. Likely if your endo is playing up, it is being 'fed' by estrogen and estrogen also irritates breast tissues anyway.  Even if you are not on hrt, estrogen will stil be present and will feed/irritate endo & breasts.  Very generally speaking, you need progesteron & estroegen to balance each other whcih is why they advise a combined hrt if you have had endo (my doc obviously didnt think so).  The usual doctor's attitude is that hysterectomy cures eno, but i think it makes it worse in one sense as it is left behind, spreads and is small and hard to detect after that, and hrt (even combined) can fire it up again
