Getting help

Hi,

I am 100% sure I have endo. I have been suffering with horrendous pain each period , usually worse in the first day. Pain so bad I pass out frequently, over the years I’ve been to the doctor and been told it’s period pain . I’ve had a brief period after pregnancy where it wasn’t so bad but now it’s come back . My question is how do I get taken seriously by the doctor about this. I cannot continue each month like this . I’m nearly 40 and have had this since my late teens .

Next time you see your gp say that you think it could be endometriosis and would like it to be investigated. Sometimes you do have to talk to different GPs within your clinic to get someone to refer you.

I was told I just had ibs even though any bowel issue I have are only on my period and the least of my issues. I walked out of that appointment and I made a mental note of the Dr's name to refuse to see them again. The next Dr I saw said yes sounds like it could be endo let's send refer you and let's also do an ultrasound as the gynea will likely ask for one.

I am sorry you are going through this. I can't help with personal experiences, but I know someone who took herbal meds from GinSen clinic, and has been happy with results. Hope this helps. x
