Hi ladies hope your all not too bad.
I recently had a lap and two bits of endo we're found and burnt off ( not sure where) a dense piece of scar tissue from belly button to bowel area that they wouldn't touch and told me to get a referral to surgeons. The thing is I'm convinced this scar tissue is a result of bowel endo the reason is iv had problems with my bowel since I could remember as well as awful periods. I was constipated a lot of my younger teenage years and now it's alternating loose stools and constipation that can be absolute agony even I can feel the pain with it all in transit it's awful. I get shooting pains up both ends and have in the past few months started noticing blood when I poo on my period it definitely coming from back passage iv checked. Sometimes it's extremely embarrasing and Comes on so quick that I have accidents. I'm 32 and have had 1 child via c section. Gynae have discharged me and I'm seeing my gp on Monday I asked the secretary for report and pics she said to go through access to records. Do you think I can ask for a referral? When they did the lap they said they don't know where the scar tissue is from. I don't know what to do now?
Thanks for any answers in advance x
I asked my GP to refer me to a bsge clinic, I gave him the address and the two surgeon names that I was recommended for my local centre, waited over 36 weeks to been seen but now I'm under the care of them. So yes you do have the right
Can I ask how was you diagnosed before bsge? My fear is because they only found 2 bits and have said they don't know where the scar tissue has come from. My gp might dismiss the fact I need to be referred. Thanks for reply x
I have stage 4 endo on the Ureters, pouch of Douglas and Bowel. If your GP does not refer you, you can always get a second opinion from another GP.
Thanks hun. Hope your getting sorted. X
