Hello, I recently got diagnosed with endometriosis when I had an ovarian dermoid cyst removed by laparoscopy. It was a surprise and my gynaecologist said it was near to my kidney tube so didn’t remove it as she didn’t want to risk any damage to my kidney.
I tried dienogest for 2 months but it gave me vision problems so I stopped it 3.5 weeks ago. I’ve got my first period since stopping it but in the couple of days before and now whilst I’m on my period, I get this stabbing pain for a few seconds which feels right up in my bum (sorry!) when I sit down after I’ve been for a wee. Is this a symptom of endo?
I’ve had pelvic pain for years and bad period pains but always got told this was normal so I now think they were from the endo. My doctor also thinks I have progesterone intolerance so I’m now trying out tranexamic acid and mefenamic acid as treatment for my symptoms so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
TIA xx
