hi,
Welcome to HCM
if Uterus was removed, years back, then I do not think that On laproscopy, there would be any active lesion of Endometriosis. Your Doctor wants to rule out any ovarian , tubal or peritoneal pathology. These pathology could be due to chronic Pelvic inflammatory disease, or due to scar formation after rupture of any endometriotic cysts, or as a long term complication of hysterectomy itself. After removal of uterus, ovaries stops functioning gradually. Your cyclic pains and mood swings could be due to changes in hormonal level.
IBS is a diagnosis of excusion. Intestinal symptoms can happen due to scar adhesions on intestine or over omentum.
There can be thousands of problem, and it is highly possible that your doctor do not find anything wrong. So i would advise you to not worry too much. once you know your specific diagnosis then you can explore it in depth.
Best Wishes
