Endometriosis

[Sam38]

Hello there,

I woke up christmas day with an excellent christmas present. Santa really loves me.

I woke up with hemmeroids. Could this be associated with my endometriosis connected to my bowel. It's stage 4 the whole of my bowel is connected. I asked the hospital yesterday they said they didn't know.

Thank you

Sam

I have them and also have severe endo with bowel endo/rectovaginal endo. One of my symptoms has been chronic constipation and I've been told that this is the cause of the hemorrhoids.

Hello joreilly,

The best part they were adamant I was constipated. But I'm not.

They tried giving me laxatives I told them I don't want them. Plus I don't want the s***es when I've got Piles. It's hard enough to walk. I'm walking like John Wayne. Xx

Hi I have endo constricting my bowel . I have extremely thin stools but have to take stool softener and laxatives. I tend to be closer to diarrhoea but because of the constriction I really have to strain to go. I now had a hemerroid for nearly three weeks. And even though. I've been using suppositories and cream for it , it is not shrinking. Had argument with GP last week as he was saying all my bowel problems were due to being constipated. So I said well how come I have to really strain even with severe diarrhoea. He couldn't answer that.

GP's seem to really struggle with anything to do with bowel endo - before I was diagnosed I was seeing a GP for bowel issues (mucus, bleeding etc) and he insisted it was IBS and told me I didn't have endo because I didn't have the symptoms when I asked about it. He offered me no treatment or advice for the IBS he said I had and basically wasn't interested. Some of them have no grasp of how the disease works at all.

Yeah I know. I've even. Shown him the scan report which states it. At least he's finally referred me for a second opinion as first consultant, even though he was BSGE, didn't remove any endo in March when he did hysterectomy. Although he had promised to do this but didn't.
