diagnosis

worried I might have endometriosis and my gp is not listening having several flare ups of my stomach where I am unable to move bleeding from the back passage and fatigue

[Meg_11]

so sorry your having these symptoms! Try to get another appointment with the GP and demand to be referred to gynaecology! Hope you get better!

keep fighting for answers don't take one opinion, fight to see a gynae / google ones who specialise in endo

If your in a fortunate position to be able to go private fully recommend that- thats how i got my diagnosis within a week

See another doctor, do not give up ever!!! Keep at them until they refer you. It may not be Endo but bleeding of any kind needs investigating. Please don't stop! You know your own body. They need to take you seriously. Never think you are a pest, I used to and soon learned that I wasn't and my health was important xxx

So sorry you’re suffering lovely. So when I first joined this group I was in your position, feel like my symptoms matched Endo but NHS wouldn’t listen.

I got recommended to pay for a private consultation with a specialist, it was £170 and best thing I’ve done. She instantly made me validated, said it’s highly likely I have Endo and I need the lap surgery.

I’m now on the NHS waiting list however I’m going private as it’s an 18 month wait for my area.

So if I was you, do some research try find a specialist and book an appointment if you can!

Unfortunately in my experience the NHS and GPS just don’t know anything about Endo. It’s really really frustrating but keep pushing. If I stopped digging into what was wrong I would still be none the wiser! Good luck xxx

Please do.....or see a different doctor.It's taken me over 15years to get a diagnosis, I finally have some answers but it frustrates me that it's taken so long.

Keep pushing....good luck!
