Laparoscopy
Hi, Cut a long story short - I need some help I have being experiencing pain with my lower abdomen and pelvic pains leading up to my period since coming off the pill a year and half later and finally got referred to a gynaecologist. I’ve had a MRI and they said they couldn’t see much evidence of endometriosis

Need some info on Fibroids
I've been posting here for almost 2 years about my pelvic pain and heavy bleeding while on waiting lists. I had a laparoscopy last month which showed severe and widespread adhesions. I was told by one gynaecologist that there was no endo and the adhesions would have been caused by my c-section in 2009

Problem with NHS policy - again!
Off on holiday soon. At my last injection appointment I told the practice nurse that my next scheduled jab would be 4 days into my holiday and there was no way I could make the day. She said quite clearly that it wouldn't be a problem as I would be OK to have it the day before I fly. So I rang this

Hi everyone, I've finally had my initial appointment with a specialist endotriosis centre come through. Yay! I'm not sure yet whether I would even want a laparoscopy since some women have a diagnosis with just an MRI. But I know I might have to have a laparoscopy for a definite diagnosis. I've got a

Rectal pain and poo talk (hopefully not too much info) 💩

After seeing new Consultant last week
