endometriosis

[veronicaS]

Iam going through infertility investagation, I have been trying to concive for about 2 years. A year ago I saw my Dr because I was not ovulating, he sent me for an ultra sound and it showed pcos and my Dr put me on the birth control pill for three months and after that I did start ovulating. Now they suspect I may have endometriosis. I get pain in my bum (like a pressure pain) painful periods and for years I have had unexplained rectal bleeding on and off. Has anyone heard of endometriosis in the rectal-vaginal septum if so what are the symptpms and do they differ from other endometriosis symptoms. also how is it diagnosised and what is the treatment. Thanks veronica

Dear Friends,
   When women suffering from endometriosis lose hopes of getting a complete cure from this painful disease, the medical fraternity of the world suggests that there are different treatments for the disease.

Hiii,

   Endometriosi is a disease found in womens who is fighting with infertility problems. Pelvic pain during menstruation or ovulation can be a symptom, but may also occur in normal women.

I have a question about this too i was told that i had an ovarian cyst months ago and that it had errupted and then my mother told me there was no way to get ride of it... so lately i have just been takeing pain killers but they dont seem to be helping .. and then now i have started to have intercourse with my boyfriend and every time it hurts like a lot and i find that it doesnt always feel good like at all and i dont knwo if its just cause were both new at it and we dont know wat were doing but we have tryed it a bunch of different ways and it hasnt felt good for me at all... and also wen he fingers me it doesnt always feel good it sometimes hurts and other times just feels akward and it use to feel good until i started getting pains and then i found out that i got a cyst... now im starting to think that its endometriosis but i have never had any problems rectum wise. My moms starting me on the birth control pill to help wiht the pain because im 16 and im very athletic and i am busy every night of the week and this is effecting my life a lot ..and i heard it also effects if u can get pregnant .. does it sound like i have endometriosis?

I have not been DXed with endo, but it is my understanding that to properly DX it you will have to have the lap procedure.  There is a website www.endo-resolved.com.  Check it out b/c it has a lot of info.  Best of luck to you!

yes, intercourse is very painful but I don't get pain while defecating. I get rectal bleeding on and off I don't know if that is a symptom or not.

I have endo, but I don't know about the vagianl rectum thing. I suppose it could grow there, it grows anywhere. The way mine was diagnosed was through laparoscopic sugery. I don't know if they would do the same thing. I had my growths burned off at the time, but they grow back. I hope that they can figure something out for you soon though. I am sorry I wasn't any help, but I wanted you to know that your post was read and someone is listening. Keep me posted about anything they find out. Good Luck!
