Help. Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound came back “normal”
Please, can anyone tell me if this sounds like pelvic congestion?
Test results: bloods- fine, stool samples- all
Negative, urine samples- all negative, STI checks- all negative.
Symptoms: March this year, started experiencing severe pelvic bloating. Lower stomach/ pelvis feel full and inflamed. When I touch my lower stomach it feels tender. There is a particularly tender area just below my bellow button and to the left slightly. Visually, it looks like my stomach has dropped down towards my pelvis. Even on an empty stomach, it will bulge. I’ve noticed it worst at the end of the day or after lots of sitting.
April: Started to feel dull ache. SI joint pain which has been an issue in the past has started occurring again, despite physiotherapy attempts. Whether I exercise or not doesn’t seem to make much difference. It will come and go, sometimes I get pain all the way out to my left hip. Sometimes up the back. Sometimes both sides but usually the left.
Also, occasional sick feeling/stomach pain. Sometimes after eating, sometimes on an empty stomach.
May/now: I noticed I had one swollen lymph nodes in my groin. This was about 5 weeks ago (before I went away on holiday). Since then, it has gotten slightly more swollen. Plus another one on the same side has swollen too. They feel tender, not pleasant to touch.
Most recently: Hurts to bend my leg up towards my chest, sit cross legged, or lie of the side. Any position where the lymph nodes feel crushed or restricted feels unpleasant. By the end of the day, just want to lie down. Also experiencing fatigue. Sleeping 10+ hours a night but still very tired by the end of the day. Body feels slow and heavy. Sometimes walking is uncomfortable across the pelvis.
Other things maybe worth noting: Periods have became less regular, and slightly more painful and heavy first few days. In the past, my periods have been almost textbook regular. 1 day early or late at max (5+ years flow tracking).
Also, pain and discomfort with sexual intercourse. This is something that has gotten worse over time. But now with the combination of being very exhausted, the pain is too much. It’s hard to insert a tampon even. I worry when I do have sec even with lube, I’ll get thrush. It feels uncomfortable during and after.
And lastly, just a bit or struggling to urinate sometimes, or rather completely empty. Feels restricted like I have to push to urinate but I try not to cause I assume that’s not good for me. I try to drink a lot of water, usually 2.5 litres a day.
I have had multiple blood tests, urine tests, STI tests, and stool samples. All negative. I’ve just had my pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound and I’m super disappointed to hear they also came “normal”.
Im definitely not pregnant. And I don’t think I have endo, but I guess you never really know. I don’t know where to go from here
