Endometriosis

So a quick removal of a cysts size of a orange turns out that I have endometriosis, so bad that it has caused my bowel to drop and stick in wrong position. My tubes and ovaries are badly damaged and I have been told chances of conceiving are minimal as I have had endro for at least 10 years! i spent years going back and forward to doctors appointment telling them how painful my periods was and no one listened now I know why!

Im so sorry to gear your news. How old are you? Have they removed the endo?

Im waiting for a lap and im terrified of getting news like this xxx

I'm 28, I have just finished 6 month course of injections to clear it and have appointment at hospital next week! My consultant has been brilliant, as my periods due to start now treatment has finished if I have any symptoms I can bypass the doctors go straight to hospital for checks! My next check up November will see what the next steps are!

If you have a good consultant they will talk you through it all give you the best advise! Im glad I found out as the doctors kept fobbing me off as if my pain was normal which now I know it wasn't and that it's not just in my head and that actually I have a medical issue!

Hi, I'm glad you have some answers, are you seeing a specialist ENdo gyne at a bsge centre, or General gyne,

It's very complex when it involves the bowel, and a general gyne will not, or should not operate on certain types of Endo,

I had the same problem I was going to my doctors for years telling them something wasnt right but they wouldnt listen took 4 years to even be sent to a gynecologist and when i was i had severe endo on my bowel and ovaries, I always think i wouldn't be in the process of ivf now if they will have listened from the start, keep strong hun, xxx
