Change in pain pattern after csection? Little pain on period but worse pain throughout the month

[ElizaEliza]

I’m looking for a bit of advice really. I’ve had 5 surgeries for endo (my history is recurrent stage 4 endo, left ovary stuck to rectum, bladder nodules and endometriomas etc debilitating pain throughout the month - to be very brief!).

After my first child my pain resumed with my periods. I had my second child via C-section and my periods resumed after 12 months but my pain is different in its pattern and weirdly seems to be less when I’m actually on my period. I have very pain during my period but my ovulation pain is still horrific and the pain directly after my period is very intense. Previously my pain has escalated and reached it’s peak on my period. I also have adenmyosis too and still bleed very heavily, I’m not sure whether the decline in pain could be age related? Or even possibility because I had a csection with my second? Although I know endometriosis can be worse after a csection. Just looking to know if anyone else has experienced a change in their pain pattern and less pain on their period and why this could be? I’m also still breastfeeding and wondering whether this is keen my pain at bay on when on my period?

You can get adhesions/scar tissue from multiple surgeries regardless of endo, but it can disturb it a little. I would suggest seeing your gp and possibly a referral to gynae. Breastfeeding for some can damp down there natural hormones and cycles. Either way, pain all the time that's different may need looking at x
