Endo pain

[Ashlea2]

Hi,

This may seem like a daft naive question but here goes.....

Does your endo symptoms / pain / troubles = to that of your endo stage diagnosis?

I understand everyone is different just wondering if the severity of your symptoms mirror that of the severity of your diagnosis??

Thank you xx

No not at all Ashley2. Deep disease, can on occasions, be silent and symptomless; superficial disease can be disabling, and vice versa. I was diagnosed with mild endo last month (I was told there was extensive endo behind my uterus but it did not involve my bowel or bladder) and I had been in a lot of pain pretty much every day. Another endo sufferer on here has stage IV endo which was found on laparoscopy only because she had been experiencing fertility issues - she had no other symptoms. So to summarise: the pain does not correlate to the stage of endo. Hope that helps x

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I recently had an mri which without knowing the full extent as I haven’t yet seen my gyne says thick plaques between the posterior uterus and rectum, so obviously I had a look threw google and came up with all sorts. But Google’s many theories don’t seem to match upto my symptoms. Yes I struggle threw periods and bleed from the back, but i just didn’t think my symptoms would equal such diagnosis. I know I need to speak to my gyne before jumping the gun tho
