Intestinal Edo?

Hi there.

For the past three years, I have been experiencing a severe pain in the rectal/bowel area when I have a bowel movement-ONLY whilst on my menstrual period. It is so searing that it almost makes me pass out. my doctor told me he thought it sounded like Endometriosis. I have been for a Laparoscopy and they said they have indeed found Endo - on my ovary and also on my uterus, which they removed.

I am really confused now as I have just had my next period and the rectal pain is still very much there. It seems almost like they have opened up as whole new can of worms but done nothing to fix the original problem.
My main questions here are -

1. Would they have seen the Endo if it was on or near by bowel or intestinal tract or is that a completely different type of surgery?
2.  Is it possible to have this bowel pain and have Endo only on the ovary?
3. Does Endo on the ovary and uterus have repercussions for fertility?

The doctors have just given me that basic feedback from my surgery but gave me no other help aside from that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I can so relate to bkj.  I'm 52 and had a hysterectomy due to endo in 2003, my right ovary remains and I have no problems on that side whatsoever.  I had endo removed from my recto sigmond colong (?) and in the cul-de-sac area and also on my ureters...needed a stent and specialist present during surgery to clean them.  
I've been experiencing diarehea in the last 6 months, it gets worse with each episode.  Last week from 10pm-8am one night I had 20 episodes leaving.  It was just terrible.  I experience alot of nausea that comes and goes.  I have indigestion, also comes and goes.  I have burning pain on my left side (hip area), again comes and goes.  I have periods of remission from all this....and then WHAM with no warning I'm down and out with such pain and fear of diarehea kicking in.  I've had scopes up and down and the lower feels as if they are tearing my insides out, they always are normal.  I have alot of low back pain.  Each day I don't know what to expect as everything comes in spurts.  I've lost weight this year (30 lbs from healthy dieting) and I'm not losing weight but I don't have much of an appetite when feeling so lousy.  My Gyno who did the hysterectomy said I had extensive Endo and at one point thought I may need a rection of the bowel (?).  It seems the older I get the worse I'm getting....I thought a hysterectomy would stop this.  Is menopause making it worse?  I don't even know what to tell my doctors anymore without them thinking I'm a hypocondriac.  This disease is just terrible.  I just wish it would go away.  I have a great life, job, family and this is the one thing holding me back from enjoying it all.  I have an appointment with my gyno on Dec. 2nd and I just don't know where to begin....do I need to see an endo specialist and where do you find one?
Sorry for going on.  Thanks for listening....any good input would be greatly appreciated.
