Pouch of Douglas Endo!

Hey!

I've just been told that I've most likely got Endo and the specialist believes it is possible pouch of Douglas Endo. I'm doing my best to avoid reading online but wondered if anyone has experienced this sort of Endo and how it has been for you / what it involves?

Thanks

Becky

You can look it up, it's not scary!

A lot of women have it in the pouch, I do too!

Reading up about it will at least keep you fully informed .

The power of google is sometimes an advantage!

i too have it in my POD - and agree that google isn't bad in this instance. You'll quickly find you are more informed than most doctors! I believe its the endo that that causes me the most pain in my pelvic area, but none of us can know exactly how it works.

Get yourself to a BSGE clinic and best of luck.
