Toilet pains

[Ash24601]

Has anyone had a sharp lower abdomen pain whilst passing a movement?

I’ve had sharp rightside pain since my op (last year) but today i couldn’t even push, haven’t felt anything like it over than during early days of recovery.

I used to find it really painful for about 3 weeks out of the month. I have the coil and pill now so don't have a period and my IBS has settled down. So don't have pain going to loo anymore. But still have other side effects from the coil. I haven't had an op for endo yet though so can't comment on that I'm afraid. But I can certainly empathise regarding the crippling pain, that's for sure!

Hi. no one tells you how painful having a poo will be after a total hysterectomy ! I had mine in April and the lower right pain is getting worse. I am convinced it is bowel movement related. It is the same place as before I had the hysterectomy, but now I get it more often. I find taking lactulose and senna if need be help reduce the problem of having a poo hope that helps. I am 'a work in progress' so to speak. I am thinking of going back to my GP again and pushing for referral to an Endo clinic to get an MRI diagnosis

Good luck, please let us know how it goes.

I literally take picolax every other night and it doesn’t always work.

I recently tried a drug called resolor which I believe may have helped, but I only took one as the side effects were so severe (extreme vomiting and migraine so bad my face drooped, I thought I was having a stroke) that lasted 48 hours, I’m gutted that it may have worked but I can’t take it.

I will do.

I am also trying the 'blood diet' after going to see a herbal specialist. Since surgery I have tried to have an apple, banana, pear and orange every day, plus the lactulose in the early weeks, and tried to up my greens. It does help. I have never eaten so much fruit and veg! Since returning to work this hasn't gone as well and so the pain is worse.

Have you been diagnosed with recto-vaginal endometriosis, if not you should ask your doctor getting tested.

I’ve had multiple excisions from “everywhere” the most recent being last year and on my bowel (lower left and upper right) had issues since the first night
