Hello,
Since my Endo diagnosis I am keen to really start looking after my body. I'm already good with food but I'm not nearly as active as I should be.
I have tried in the past to ease myself into exercises but I find that I always have to stop or feel unwell and get bad period pains. This can happen when doing simple warm ups and even Yoga !!
Could someone please suggest particular exercises or ways round this ??
Have you tried just walking for about 30 mins? Sometimes when I lift weights or do stuff like Pilates it can cause too much strain.. I've found walking to be the easiest on me so far.
I've been trying to manage endo symptoms through exercise also. I'm eating a far more balanced whole food diet. The exercise for me works best when I do simple 10-15 minute slow runs in the morning 2-3 times a week. When I wake up feeling able to I go out running. My running gear is in the drawer below my bed so there is no excuse. I sometimes don't relish it, but when I feel able to I do it. And it works. I feel better afterwards, I really think it has an impact on my physical symptoms and my mental health is tonnes better as a result of doing this. The slow running is a great way to clear my head. On days when I can't go out I relish that too. I highlight on my kitchen calendar when I have done a run. It is such a great achievement that for the days when I can't get out I don't feel so bad. As soon as strength returns I try to get out and walk around the block, or part of my running route. Good luck with whatever exercise you take up. Make sure it becomes an 'easy habit' for you to adopt.
I've had a really similar problem, I actually only realised I had endo because I got pain while running (never have bad periods or other symptoms) and after being told 'that's not a thing' for months finally had a laparoscopy and was diagnosed, and discovered the endo was growing on my abdominal wall so stretching it can cause pretty intense period like pain. I only get it when running and always within the first 3km, then I can 'walk it off' and I'm good to go for hours. It's a bit random for me so sometimes I get it others I don't, but I've found a couple of things help like taking it really slowly to start, and stopping as soon as it hurts (9/10 times I can start again in a few minutes), drinking water before helps, and so does eating about an hour before (I don't know why though), maybe try things that don't impact that part of your body too much? Like cycling possibly? Or swimming? I love running though so I usually just run, hope I don't get pain, then just walk it out if I do, I've learned not too push on in pain though after I vomited from the pain during a 5km race :/ if walking is ok, you could try interval work, so alternate walking then sprinting a really short distance which hopefully won't be enough to cause pain?
You might just need to try lots of different things to see what works and what doesn't... you could even try pregnancy yoga because I imagine that would be protective of the abdominal area? But I haven't actually ever tried it.
I hope you find something that works!
