Hi,i'm 36 year old female. I suffered from ab discomfort end of last year. At the same time, i found out that i have hemorrhoids from my colonrectal dr. In the end, i went for my haemorrhoidectomy last dec (a day after xmas!! what a way to usher to NYE) I thought my pain has to do with the pain from the hemorrhoids but no....even after the surgery, its still there.
At 1st it feels like incomplete bowel movement, so even after i just "did it", i still feel incomplete and the need to go again,when there is nothing left to empty.
As weeks and months gone by, the pain became worse and its attacking me whole day, day and night even during sleep. That was when i went to see a gastroenterologist.
Symptoms:
Upper & lower ab pain every single day. When i press my tummy, the pain is on my lower ab but usually i feel a dull pain whole tummy and there's wave of spasm on my upper & lower ab
Feel bloated and lack of appetite. Hence,i have lost a lot of weight
When i force myself to eat, i feel full easily and will hurt if i eat more
Cant walk around much as i will need to rest due to the pain. Just feel like i cant have my body straight for too long
I feel slightly better when i lay down as i'm so lethargic from the pain.Sometimes even feel nausea and migraine from all these pain
Cant seem to have spicy food and coffee anymore.
Normal flow of period,not heavy
I have seen GI and Gynae and done few test:
Colonoscopy
CT scan
CA125 test
Ultrasound- gynae says i have endometriosis and small cyst but i dont really hv any symptoms fr these
To ascertain if my pain is due to gastro or female hormonal/reproduction issue, she has put me on Visanne for 2 months. She says if my pain goes off after 2 months, then its due to my hormone. If it doesnt, then its due to gastro. I cant afford to be mixing 2 types of meds and seeing 2 diff doctors everytime. Its crazy.
I have now even resort to traditional chinese gynae. Going through acupuncture and drinking herbal meds. This is my 1st week
Anyone have similar issue?
