Hi all,
I am 22 and went to the GP in January with pain during and after intercourse (deep and to the left), nerve pain in my left leg, irregular and painful periods. After all STI checks were done and came back negative she suggested endometriosis and referred me for ultrasound. Ultrasound found nothing and so referred me to gynaecology.
At my gynaecology appointment I gave her the same history but she ignored my leg pain and left it off the letter. However quoted "mild tenderness in left iliac fossa" and "left adnexal tenderness". She offered me a diagnostic laparoscopy which I had last week (August).
The laparoscopy came back clear and there was no evidence of endometriosis, I couldn't really put together what the surgeon was saying as she went through my pictures as I was still a bit out of it from the general anaesthetic. The surgeon was very unhelpful when I asked what it could be instead and walked off before I could ask any more questions. Would she have definitely checked the pouch of douglas as I have read that is associated with pain during intercourse? Also I haven't mentioned that during my periods I have really loose stools about three times a day is this relevant as well?
I am at a loss as to what to do because I feel there is definitely something wrong with me and all my symptoms seem to be consistent with endometriosis. I wonder if the fact I was started on cerazette around 8 months ago could have resulted in it being missed laparoscopically?
HELP
