Endometriosis/cervical cancer/ibs

[SlB94]

I’m looking for some help and advise as I am going crazy and suffering really bad from anxiety!

I have been on the pill since for 7 years. I stopped in January this year and every since I have had period likes cramps daily. I get serve back pain, always have a subbed urgency to go to the toilet. Went to the doctors, they done ultrasound, bloods etc. All came back clear. I was referred to see a gynaecologist as my doctor thought it could endometriosis. The gynaecologist thought it was more bowel related and was ibs. So I changed my diet for a few months and it made no difference.

But then I recently got into a relationship, every time we have sex I bleed during, loads! And in pain after for ages! So I went to the doctor again. She examined me and I bleed straight away and she basically apologised and said she can see now that it’s not bowel related and has put me on the urgent list to see the gynaecologist again.

I’m only 24 and never had a smear test.

I’m scared as I’ve always thought it was endometriosis but then I started googling and my symptoms seem to relate more to cervical cancer. With my doctor referring me urgently after examining me has freaked me out!

Any help or advise would be much appreciated!

When you have endometriosis you will get most of other diseases symptoms

I had all of ovarian cancer symptoms after that I discovered that it was endometriosis not a cancer

I have bowel obstruction symptoms but there wasn’t obstruction

I have adeno symptoms but it was not adeno it was endometriosis

And more more of symptoms

Please don’t search because one day you will lose your mind and that what happened to me

Hi,

I can appreciate your anxiety.. but please try not to Google symptoms as it doesn't really matter what u put into Google it will always come up with the worst.

Wait untill you see your consultant and see what they say.

10 years ago I woke up with period pain out of the blue and spent 6 months with bloating, sudden weight loss horrendous pain ect. People thought I had the BIG C I was 25 at the time. Following a diagnostic lap I had bilat stage 1 endo in my overian fosser. This was ablated and not had any issues since.

My point is not everything is cancer, I will strongly advice you once this issue has been resolved please keep up to date with your smear tests.

Hope this helps x

Thank you both for responding!

I know we should stay away from google. It is just hard when you are waiting and worrying.

I’m glad you both are symptom free now, that’s great news!

Thank you!

I have done a bit of research on her and it says she specialises in endometriosis so hopefully will be ok. I see her next Friday. X
