Advice Needed :(

[Killjoyxxx]

Hi Guys,

Really hoping I could get some advice!

So I got diagnosed with endo in Jan via Lap and had ablation surgery.

My pains got worse since and am waiting for an appointment to plan another surgery.

However I have recently been having problems with UTI symptoms. A few months ago I was have uti symptons constantly with blood I got referred to a urologist who did a cystoscopy, blood tests and a MRI and nothing was found. the symptoms calmed after a while.

however 2 weeks ago I started having the same symptoms and test showed all the usual uti things ie. blood and protein they gave me antibiotics for a week. but yesterday I began to get a quite bad pain in my back and pelvis I still hurts to urinate and also feeling pressure on my bowel.

I have been to the out of hours GP who said all my obs were normal and there is now no sign of a UTI but I am in even more pain than I was last week

any advice woud be great (I will be trying to visit my own GP tomorrow)

Ahh sorry youre feeling horrible.

Plans for future surgery may be an idea, it sounds like your endo may be around / in the bladder. Unfortunately ablation only gets rid of the top layer of endo, not the whole bit, so regrowth can be quicker. Push for excision surgery; this removes the endo and some healthy tissue, its known to be the best at preventing regrowth.
