Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and hoping to get some advice.
since the birth of my 2 Nd child I have had an awful monthly experience. Every month approx 2 weeks after my period I swell up lower abdomen, and the pain is quite severe. I know I am ovulating as previous to this my discharge changes to mucus/sticky. This also upsets my bowel with quite a lot of bowel movements and needing to wee quite a bit more.
i have had lots of tests, scans, ultrasounds etc but all show clear.
i am waiting on going to see a consultant to see if I have endometriosis.
if anyone can help or give advice I'd love to gear from you - I am at my wits end xx
=12.0ptSometimes swelling is considered as one of the symptom of endometriosis and the only way to confirm endo is doing laparoscopy. It can be done in hospital or in an outpatient setting. Hope you get the right cause behind your pain. Good luck.
Thank you. Yes hopefully will get some answers at my hospital appointment.
Yes, I know what you mean. Since I had my second child my PMS symptoms have grown worse and my ovulation pain has gotten worse. When I had my daughter, I had a c section and they told me I didn't have endo. I thought I did. They said they didn't see any. I am scheduled for an ultrasound on Tuesday. I am going to consult with a doctor about having a hysterectomy. I can't take this anymore.
