So roughly 7 weeks ago I had what I thought was a water infection the usual constant urinating and never feeling like my bladder was empty etc. I then started getting niggly pain in my back so assumed it could be kidney infection, the doctors gave me antibiotics but the pain continued to get worse. Then I started getting pain in my pelvic and abdominal area. This is constant every day I literally have it constantly but it most definitely gets much worse around the time of my period however I am on the pill and have been for 10 years so have never had a proper period as such and have never suffered with painful periods until now. I’d not really heard much about Endo until somebody mentioned it to me and I looked it up. It then seemed like more symptoms I hadn’t thought much of I had. So things like pain being worse going to the toilet, constipation and diarrhoea, sex etc can be painful at times and I had one stage of bleeding when I had continued to take my pill but it wasn’t constant every few days I was bleeding for a day then it would stop . I don’t know if this is a symptom as such but I’m finding walking really difficult at the moment especially being on my feet a lot at work! I also have had bloods done and abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound and it was all clear.
It sounds silly but I feel like I just need somebody to tell me it’s not all in my head as that’s how I am feeling at the moment! Has anybody had anything similar and does this sound like it could be Endo?
Could it be endometriosis?
Could this new pain be due to endometriosis?
Could I have endometriosis? Posting for the second time
Endometriosis and bladder problems
I had very similar symptoms. Doctors told me I could have kidney infections before I was diagnosed with endo and I had countless rounds of antibiotics before they referred me to a gynaecologist. Then a further 3 months waiting for a laparoscopy. Keep pestering them, the sooner they find the problem the better 👍
This makes me feel so much better! They suggested kidney stones at first but ruled that straight out after a urine sample and ultrasound. I previously had pain in a totally different place and they found I had gallstones and removed my gallbladder but I still had the same pain a long time after the op. I gave up in the end as I was made to feel a bit silly being sent to different consultants and being told different things. I now wonder whether it was all linked! I have a gynaecology appointment in a few weeks so I’m hopeful things will get sorted. It’s draining and I just want to know whatever the problem is to try and get it sorted. I was unsure if you get Endo being on the pill as I had read online that women that have it sometimes are put on the pill to help. Thank you for the reply!
It's true being on the pill can help dampen the condition, but then again I've had the mirena coil in for close to 3 years now and that hasn't helped either, although they said it would! 😂 It's gruelling going through the whole process to try and find the cause but if it's interfering with your day to day life it's definitely worth keeping on at them. Good luck with it 👍🍀
Oh definitely I feel like I’m just pushing through each day at the moment it’s so hard being at work and trying to carry on as normal! I work in a primary school and I’m constantly on my feet. 🤞🏻 I get some answers thank you!
