Hello

Im 30 years old and was diagnosed with endo at 22 after suffering with really bad symptoms since i was 14. I then went through a long few years trying to conceive my little boy through fertility. After he was born i was put straight back on the combination pill. After giving birth i have suffered with aura migraine so removed from that pill and placed on the only other pill that works and bam ive had 2/3 years of ongoing pain. Ive really struggled to cope these last few months, im up and down quite a lot emotionally. I've recently been referred back to gyne who went through my file and showed me picture's taken from my lap, wasn't great and and its never really fully been explained. She saidit was angry and red and my organs were stuck together. Where the endo is on my bowels they wont laser incase they damage my bowels so went through some treatment options. The one that seems ok was the marina coil, so my question is has anyone tried this and has it worked?

Im new to this so sorry if its too long.

Thank you x

I had stage 4 endo on my bladder and rectovaginal between the bowl and the vagina wall. I was told also it’s risky when treating endo near the bowl but as long as you get a good surgeon they can definitely remove it. Maybe see if you can find a specialist endo team to talk to. In the mean time the marina has been the best option for me and really helped my symptoms. Best of luck and sending lots of love your way x
