Hello all, please can anybody help me as I'm getting very scared. Has anybody had continuous brown discharge with endometriosis? It's every day and it's horrible!

Yes, I did before my laparoscopy. The only time I didn't have it was when I had my period. It was this symptom that made me decide to pay for a private scan which led to my diagnosis. Have you been diagnosed with endometriosis? I think the brown discharge can be old blood/coming from endometriomas. It's definitely worth speaking to your doctor about. X

No I haven't been diagnosed but I have been referred for an internal examination then fingers crossed a laparoscopy! It's a very emotional journey though, the not knowing is really getting to me. So painful and poorly every day x

I remember feeling exactly the same before I was diagnosed. I hope you get some answers and treatment soon. X

I had constant fatigue and awful headaches almost my whole life. Surgery has helped me with both!

Hi I agree with Janice it could be from a leaky endometrioma. I had an 11cm one on/ in my left ovary and had this bleeding/ discharge for nearly a year.

Thank you!

Are you on the pill? Otherwise the previous posters have it right I think.

Good luck getting that laparoscopy, don't give up!! x
