I have had symptoms of what i believe is endo since my first period at 13. I am now 20 and the symptoms of this are really affecting my life. My symptoms include extreme period pains to the point im sick, Swollen stomach, painful bowel movements, Blood in stools, Diarrhea around my period and constipation the rest of the month, extreme tiredness along with mood swings, painful sex and persistent bacterial infections.
I have made several trips to my GP over the past 7 years and have been fobbed off with pain killers, the pill and laxatives. When last went to my GP i raised the question of Endo and asked for a referral which he reluctantly gave me. I have my first hospital app in November with a gynecologist and was wondering what to expected?
any help would be really appreciated!
thank you
