Possible endo

[Sami1990]

Hi all

Im 27, I have 2 children.

I have recently been suffering with cramps, odd spotting, pain during sex, and pain after sex.

I have had swabs, internal examinations, internal scan and now being referred to the gyno clinic. Anyone with endo give me advise as to whether you think it is? I'm at a loss now as nothing So far has showed up! The spotting seems to have stopped and I'm not having heavy periods (I read a lot about heavy periods)

Thanks

So the heavy period thing is an Endo myth. It is a symptom of Adenomyosis though. I don't have them, but I did have prolonged spotting and a slightly irregular cycle.

If you've eliminated infections etc Dyspareunia ( pain with sex) is a classic symptom of deep infiltrating recto vaginal Endo. . I don't think it necessarily shows up on a trans vaginal scan which looks up at the uterus and ovaries. You'd probably need an mri. In my case it had gotten rather large and was a lump found by a GP in an internal exam. Fibroids could also cause pain with sex though I guess they would show on the TV scan. It's possible to get umbilical Endo to but I don't know what symptoms that would cause

This describes typical RV Endo symptoms in detail.
