Does a laparoscopy show bowel endo?

[RLR93]

I had a laparoscopy in 2016, not at a specialist unit as was originally referred to wrong department. I was told it looked very vascular inside and that I had pocketing-but not mention of bowel. Even though these symptom's were main problem.

Since having my Mirena removed. My bowel symptomns are back with vengeance. My GP who was Originally away for my first lap, Said they wouldn’t haven been able to see the effect of endo on my bowel by a laparoscopy. And may need a different type. Is this correct?

Thank you x

Thanks so much for your reply. I think I’ll ask to be referred back to The BSGE centre.

I did have a transvaginal ultrasound, where they just mentioned fluid on the Pouch of Douglas.

Do you know if endometriosis in this area can affect fertility. Was told after my lap all should be okay as ovaries not effected. But nothing happening as of yet.

They found bowel endo on my 2 laparoscopys. However mine are big nodules so maybe that’s why they saw it. It’s soo frustrating as I’ve worked through several specialist and they all say slightly different things.

Good luck x
