Hi Alarna,

I was admitted into hospital for 8 days back in June with acute pain in my tummy. The pain relief they gave me made me constipated and I had to have an enema in the end to help me go to the toilet. I would request they give you one also. I was on laxatives, but they were not working. 7 days with not emptying my bladder meant the laxatives couldn't do a thing.

I would not agree to leave the hospital until there is some care plan in place. I would request you see the pain management team before you are discharged and you would like an appointment to see a consultant before you leave. If you have not signed any paperwork to have the lap I would demand you sign that paperwork and then be given an operation date.

I was more fortunate when I was in hospital because I was already seeing a fertility doctor and with my regular scans they had seen I had a cyst that was growing so I had already signed the operation paperwork and the operation wasn't too far away. It was only during my time in hospital in June that they diagnosed me with endometriosis. They offered to put me on the emergency theatre list due to the pain I was in but my consultant who had been treating me was on holiday and I wanted him to do the operation so I made the decision to ride it out. I think had I not had the cysts growing on my ovaries they would not have entertained putting me on the emergency list to operate. Do you have any cysts? Have they completed an ultrasound and MRI scan on you?

You will need to be firm with the hospital and also mention that you shall be contacting PALs to raise your experiences with them. By mentioning the fact you are going to contact PALs should get them to do something.

I hope it all goes well.

Sounds dreadful. I would contact PALs and raise this with them as it is out of order.

I am based in South Essex.
