so bit complicated but I have an appointment in few weeks with gynae, one of the things they are looking at is the possibitly of endometriosis. Really I’m just a after somr advice while I wait for it appt. so last year I started to get lots little niggley things happen was needing to wee 10 times a night pain furing sex, bleeding dull ache on right side constantly. Gp sent me for smear and std check just to tick them off the list. All fine. By septemebrr I wasn’t admittedr you hospital with suspected appendicitis as the right sided pain became ubearable when they’ve operated it turned out I had a a it of ‘free fluid ‘ from a burst ovarian cyst which hadn’t Been reabsorbed into body and had started to turn to infection. I recovered from op but by Nov started to get some symtoms back pain during sex, bleeding, so went back to gp had a scan which showed more cysts on the right ovary and thatnovary is enlarged they called me backfor follow up a week ago which showed fluid around the ovary again. On top of this since Xmas I’ve heen having normal periods ( I have impant fitted so haven’t been even having regular cycle for a while) but a week before I wake up each night with back ache and stomach ache and for a weeek after it finishes I get the same! Basically my question is do any of the things I’ve described sound familiar ? I know gp has takes about possibility of endometriosis but I’m confused becusee when they operated they had a good look round would They not have picked up on it? It’s all been going on for such a long time now and only recently been refered yo gynae , want some Answrs now! Not sleeping well as worried about what it is causing it! Sorry for long post any advice would be appreciated !!

Hey. It's hard to say, Endo is hard to diagnose at the best of times and we can't give medical advice here.
I definitely had bladder issues back pain and dyspareunia like you and was diagnosed with a recto vaginal nodule.
One other thing to look into though if you have enlarged ovaries and fluid filled sacs is perhaps PCOS. They can co exist and quite a few ladies have both conditions.
Not what you're looking for?
