Intestinal Edo?
by dockers78, Mar 10, 2009 08:29AM
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
