Endosalpingosis as a cause of pain?
by chelytoad, Dec 29, 2007 12:52AM
I have been dealing with lower right quadrant pain for about 4 years. This pain would get worse during my period but also hurt during intercourse and just generally throb. I just had a diagnostic laproscopy and endosalpingosis (hopefully I am coming close on the spelling!) and endocervicosis was found however, no endometroisis was found. I am having a REALLY hard time finding any information about either condition. Could the implants from the tubal cells and the cervix cells in my pelvic region be a cause of some of the pelvic pain I was experiencing? Or, could there be more? My doctor has ordered an MRI as there are inconsistencies with my uterus and she is suspecting adenomyosis.
Thanks!

I have not heard of endosalpingiosis or cervicosis as causes of the type of pain that you are describing.
If your gyneclogic workup is negative for STD, pregnancy, fibroids/adenomyosis, and appendicitis, then get an evaluation by a qualified pelvic floor physical therapist. They may be able to diagnose musculoskeletal pain and trigger points, which can be the cause of the pain that you are having. If you have myofascial pain, this is readily treated by physical therapy applied to the affected muscles.
