Sharing experiences and advice on recognizing and managing common and rare symptoms of Endometriosis.
I haven’t had surgery yet- supposed to on April 3rd- However, since seeing my OBGYN about a month ago, it seems the symptoms have been getting progressively worse. (Over the last few months) burning sensation when urinating, migraines, diarrhea and the worst stomach cramp pains I have ever had in my life. I seem to be missing more and more work and am worried about losing my job. I am feeling very down lately and not sure how to help manage symptoms. I have been on progesterone and seemed to have stopped bleeding but am still getting symptoms. Does anyone else have this issue ? I feel so alone. I am in so much pain . I was told in the past I have IBS and now being told I have endo and interstitial cystitis. How has anyone helped with managing pain?
The most notable symptom I’ve been experiencing is severe ovulation pain that radiates to my hips. I’ve always struggled with constipation and painful bowel movements, as well as UTI-like pain with no infection. I’ve received a clinical diagnosis of endometriosis.
