Bowel Endo?

[SJ0514]

Has anyone seen a gastroenterologist after removal of Endo on ovaries? Post op check today after lap 13 months ago.. symptoms the same so referred me to a Gastroenterologist to check for Endo on the bowel. Had a colonoscopy 4 years ago which was clear but apparently this is not the way to diagnose Endo on the bowel.

I have all the signs of Endo on the bowel, excruciating pain with bowel movements, rectal bleeding, rectal pain which always coincides with ovulation/ period, severe bloating, gas diarrhoea and constipation alternating with nausea.

I wondered if anyone can realate to this and what tests do they do to diagnose?

Thank you ☺️ xxx

My endo was diagnosed after an MRI which showed endo on the bowel. I was then sent for a colonoscopy to see if it had spread to the inside of the bowel.
