She has been suffering from endometriosis since she was 16 and has been taking oral contraceptives to help control it, but the condition had gotten progressively worse and required surgery. She has no other medical history, but she is a current smoker. She had no complications during surgery. She has no incision, as the surgery was performed intra-vaginally. She has minimal bloody drainage on her perineum pad. She was nauseated when she got out of surgery. She received 4 mg of ondansetron (Zofran), and this worked well.
