My Pain Sync With The Increasing Of Vaginal Fluids

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Cairo, IL

I know it's a weird symptom but I noticed that the pain is worse in ovaluation days, and the pain increases with the increasing of the vaginal fluids.
I don't know for sure that I have endometriosis, I only have chronic pelvic pain, and pelvic pain while urinating that become worse in ovaluation days. And sometimes I also have rectal pain.
I only wanted to know if someone else is experiencing something like that and what is her condition.
Thank you ❤

Advice Please?

Hiya,

Could you please give me your honest advice/thoughts? Currently at the end of my tether and don't know who else to turn to.

Since I was 14 (now almost 26) I have seen various different doctors and a gynaecologist being told all sorts of different things but all of them have said they suspect I have endometriosis. With my current doctor she is the best one I have seen to date and is really clued up on the disease and says she is 100% sure I have it and all my symptoms match, there's… read more

Thanks ladies for your help. I have an appointment on Saturday morning with a different doctor and I'm going to request a referral to a gynae.

How Were You Examined To Find Out Whether Or Not You Have Endo ?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Louisville, KY

I was just wondering how everyone was examined to see whether or not you have endo?

Because How can you have a Pap smear or vaginal exam if it's so unbearably painful for you ? I went to a gyno and they kept saying the only way to tell was through that kind of exam . Is that true ? Is there a way that they can do an ultrasound to find the lesions ? Can they put you to sleep during your vaginal exam ? Because it caused me so much pain to the point of almost passing out......

A blood test is being developed outside that US, that will hopefully bring a less invasive option to testing for Endo
Fingers crossed it comes soon- these laparoscopic surgery inst always the best… read more

How Long Did It Take You To Recover From Laparoscopic Surgery?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Franklin, NH

My doctor put on my form that I only need to take one day off for the surgery and then the next day from work. Does that seem right?? I know I shouldn’t believe everything I read on the Internet or see on TikTok, but so many people have said that it took them at least a week to start moving around normally again.

I was doing pretty well after surgery, walking, eating etc, but you can’t lift anything and have to limit what you do. I would definitely take more than a day but every person is different. I had a… read more

Should I Push For A Laproscopy?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Toronto, ON

I'm seeing my second obgyn after a strong of bad doctors, she told me my history sounds like endometriosis and there's a cyst with debris on my ultrasound results. She's put me on visanne and now I'm just adjusting to the hormones, I don't get my period anymore which helps a lot. I go for a follow up ultrasound in a month, she says if the cyst disappears because of the visanne she's 100% confident it's Endo even without the surgery to confirm.

I've been on a mission to determine what's wrong… read more

I'm Going For My Trans Vaginal Ultrasound On Mon. I'm So Nervous Does Anyone Know What I Should Expect During This Appointment?

We discussed how hormonal therapy didn't work so this was the next step, not sure what step would be next after the ultrasound. I haven't been diagnosed yet, this is all new to me.

It seems a lot scarier than it actually is.

Hi am 23 years old. I am having severe period pains since I was 14. I visited the doctor recently and he says i have endometriosis because i have all the symptoms. He gave me two options

Has Anyone Else Had A Hard Time Being Diagnosed?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Phoenix, AZ

I have almost every symptom of endometriosis. Painful cramps (on and off my period) since before I even started my period at age 11. When I was younger I went to a couple different doctors and they tried to downplay my pain and told me it’s normal and I need to get used to it. I only had one doctor that did diagnose me with PCOS based on hormone levels but never did any imaging. As an adult I have gone to two different Gynos and one told me I “probably” have it and did a vaginal ultrasound. He… read more
