Endometriosis chronical pain

[Katie313]

Hi guys I moved to UK recently Im 32 years old and I have diagnosed endometriosis 8 years ago. I had laparoscopy 2 years ago but my pain still continue to be incredibly strong through ovulation and period time. Its interesting for me that I have bigger pain through ovulation past months than period.

My questions are:

1., What are the best pills that help you through the pain?

Except paracetamol and ibuprofen please...

2., Im in Stafford area is here some specialist, some endometriosis centre- someone you guys recommend by your own experiences that you were happy with as a doctor?

Thank you for your help.. please comment guys lets help each other ❤️❤️❤️

Hi,

My pain has always been worse at ovulation. I don’t suffer from massive amounts of pain for which I am very grateful so paracetomal and ibuprofen work for me. Perhaps your GP might suggest something stronger. I take transexamic acid for bleeding which helps with the pain.

When I was researching a specialist for my surgery, I looked at the bsge site to find a hospital (I took the private route) and then researched all the endo specialists on each private hospital till I found one I was happy with.

Sorry to hear you're still suffering from a lot of pain due to your endometriosis. We do have a document on our website about various pain relief options, which may be of interest. You can find it at endometriosis-uk.org/pain-r...
