Any advice?

[Forafriend17]

For a couple of years now I have had a right sided abdo pain. I wouldn’t say the pain is excruciating but I have had to take pain relief to continue with daily tasks. Back in 2014 I went to GP who organised a scan and CA 125. I know CA 125 is a rumour marker but as far as I’m aware conditions such as endometriosis can increase it. I also had a scan which showed nothing. I then became pregnant so didn’t really do much about it until a month or so after my child was born.

My CA 125 is still elevated but has only increased by two units in over two years so they’re not too concerned. I have had another scan which again shows nothing. My consultant said he is unsure of its endo as he was expecting to see something on scan.

He now thinks I may have endometriosis in parts of the uterus. Has anyone found themselves in a similar position?

I am booked for a diagnostic lap the end of this year so hopefully that will provide some answers x

That would be Adenomyosis. Here are a couple of links.
