This is my first time posting, so hi!
I have been having severe pelvic pain and lower back pain since 2019 now.
I’ve had many investigations like ultrasounds, internal ultrasounds, blood tests etc, all coming back normal.
My GP said it’s normal and “every girl gets period pain”, I’m 19 and I have been off work for a month because of how debilitating the pain is, not to mention the constant bleeding and excruciating pain during sex and also when I use the toilet.
I knew something wasn’t right and I went privately to see a general gynaecologist who suspected endometriosis after hearing my symptoms. She booked a laparoscopy which I had 2 weeks ago.
As soon as I woke up she said she found no endometriosis but found adhesions all over my bowel. I felt so gutted no endometriosis was found- sounds ridiculous that I WANTED them to find it, but I wanted a reason for my chronic pain.
She has referred me to a bowel specialist- possible endometriosis on the bowel, but surely this would have been found in the lap?
I feel so defeated as I’m in the same pain I was before surgery, I had hope that I would be finally out of pain.
has anyone had a laparoscopy that found nothing but had a second opinion where it was found? I am convinced it is endo, nothing else can explain the severe pain I get.
Thank you.
