Symptoms

Hi just wondered who with endometriosis when they have a flare up also needs number 2 on the toilet loads and is usually sick with it too. I always have the above and wondered if anybody else does too

I had my first lap and still undiagnosed but taking the steps to see a specialist about my symptoms. But you are not alone, I have alot of toilet troubles too its really embarasing in day to day life id say 8/10 constpation and 2/10 diarrhoea. I have quite bad bowel and bladder control which leads to running to the loo! Not ideal for social occasions to say the least and im only 26 feel like im going on 80! But yes you can have bowel and bladder troubles with endo.

I have something very similar where I get stomach upset and I feel very nauseous with it. I think quite a few people with endo have stomach problems so your are not alone. It's really not very pleasant but I think it helps knowing that there's other people out there having similar problems. X

Yes I get really bad belly pains and always need the toilet. If I don't go I feel sick and clammy and the pains get worse. Glad to hear it's not just me! Xxx

Me too, first thing on a morning I have terrible stomach/low abdomen pains and its painful to go the loo. Either constipated or very loose - no Inbetween ans when you need to go I have to rush to the loo or be in horrendous pain - no holding it in! Thought it was only me!

This does seem to be very common amongst endo sufferers. Makes me more annoyed that my GP totally ignored me years ago when I said I sometimes had IBS-like symptoms and thought they may be connected to hormones. He even said they never are! Grr.

Hope it gets better for you.

Hi

I went to my GP last week and he diagnosed severe constipation! I asked if it is linked to Endo.. He said NO!!

I literally felt like screaming at him.

By flare up if you mean almost every month almost like clockwork... YES. I just put a huge post up!

My GP initially thought I had IBS before the endo diagnosis and now she just says i'm stressed or anxious so it gets worse especially during period... But I'm currently on a 4 month holiday before final year of uni and I'm pretty sure I'm not stressed :/

It's always the same, it starts of with the pain in the stomach, then churning right down, to the completely nauseous empty feeling and just sick
