Suspected endometriosis

[Winnie2014]

Hi! I’m 25 and Wondering if anyone has experienced the same problems as me. Iv been back and fore the doctors with really bad abdominal pains , keep getting palmed off with different tablets and now just strong painkillers . Iv had 2 ultrasounds done to test for a cyst or endometriosis but they couldn’t see from the ultrasounds . The pain is constant and seems to be more painful when I’m on my period or when I’m ovulating,

I and my parter are trying to conceive but seems like it’s not happening as yet . The past week I have found that my back is in agony too but seems to be in the same spot at the pain in my abdomen but opposite side . I’m waiting to be seen by a gynocologist and they want to put a camera in through my belly button? Has anyone had this done also?

Be lovely to talk to someone who understands how frustrating and uncomfortable this pain is

Thanks

What type of Ultrasound have you had? I'm in the same process right now

I find my pain is unbearable when Aunt flow arrives.

But this week my pain has been more my back and abdomen :(. Rather than just the one . Again doctors won’t do anything besides give me painkillers

Hi Winnie, Ultrasounds are not the best way to go. The camera is a procedure called a laparoscopy and it will all the doctors to have a goo look at your organs from your diaphragm down. It’s all under general anaesthetic and the after care and pain is manageable. I have had it twice and more than likely going on to my third. A tip is to have high quality peppermint tea to drink afterwards as this helps expel the gas they use during the op. Hope I have helped and good luck.

Hi all sorts 19. I am still currently waiting for an appointment for gynocologist, seems like their taking forever mind . The doctors don’t realise how much pain your actually in. I think the waiting and the not knowing is the worst tbh.

Thanks for the info. It helps talking to people who understand what your going through
