Advice needed

Hi.

About 7 years ago I got my first symptom I was sitting on the toilet and I passed stringy discharge with blood streaked in it, I panicked and booked a doctors appointment where they tested me for stds and infections, the only thing that came back was thrush. How ever I started developing other symptoms after this they are pain after sex and ( solo orgasm ) bowel movements and going for a wee also pain after exercise like running etc these pains only happen in the lead up to my period after ovulation. I don’t suffer with any pain after my period is finished. I’ve put up with these pains for 7 half years and my new symptom is brown discharge and bleeding after sex a week before period is due. I’m booked for a doctors appointment how ever I am panicking about the bleeding and have been planning my funeral for the past week lol. I’m not officially diagnosed with endo. Do these sound like endo symptoms or should I be more worried.

Thank you x

Hi

Try not to panic, so many things go through your mind when different symptoms start happening, all natural thoughts.

The Endo UK site has great info for consultations, making sure you write all your symptoms down and mentioning all of them is key as well as not being fobbed off. If you want a gynae referral tell the GP, unless it’s a gynae appointment. Make sure you bring Endo into it either way and if they say about a scan MRI is the better option but it all depends on the radiologist and consultant, chances are they say ultrasound first, mainly to rule out other things as it’s cheaper.

There are many different conditions to consider and could be easily treated.

Let us know how consultation goes 🙂
