Feeling deflated
I’ve wondered if I have Endo for a few years now. Never had huge problems with my periods but have always had problems with pain around ovulation, mid cycle spotting and spotting the week before my period. in the last few years there have been days its been so bad I’ve been unable to get off the floor until pain killers have kicked in. I’ve also had sciatica for years that went away during pregnancy and recently brief episodes of PR bleeding either at ovation or around my period.
Ive tracked my sciatica and it comes on before ovulation, then settles and flares before my period again.
a gynaecologist also said it looked like I had a spot of it on my cervix 4 years ago.
so, after being referred to NHS services and finding out the waiting list was a year I used my private insurance and was seen today. the doctor said the spot was tiny and he scraped it off there and then. said he didn’t think it was endo, then said rectal bleeding from endo usually happens around menstruation, not ovulation. he didn’t ask me much and just got me to reel off my symptoms. said my examination was normal and didn’t seem convinced it was endo. he offered hormones or surgery but now I’m not sure if I should go ahead with surgery or not as he seemed so happy convinced.
