Colitis

I have been diagonised as having colitis (amoebic) only from the stool test.  The urine is clear.  I have also done gyn scans which are all clear.  I get very severe pains duirng periods for the last several years - unfortunately I assumed it was period pains. (must take at least 3 cataflams a day to function normally). These pains are normally in my sides mostly left side but I am unable to identify a particular area - the best descripton is left side (inside somewhere) not a localised pain.

The doctors are unable to answer why I do get ameobic "colitis" pain only during periods.

Can you please help.

Hi,
It could be due to endometriosis.
Discuss with your doctor about this possibility.

Dear doc, wouldnt endometriosis show on the scan?

How do I prepare and what questions do i ask.  Problem is these days doctors do not have much time.
