I dont have cramps anymore because I dont get a period anymore because I am on the continuous birth control pill. I did use to alot.. They were so painful.
I am almost positive its possible that you have endometriosis and when it involves the rectum it is not good.
I would find a good doctor who specializes in this disease.
Have you had a transvaginal ultrasound? Have you had them check inside your vagina and rectum for nodules? They have to really go deep to feel them..
Like I said i had so many of those done and they were missed everytime until I found this doctor and right away that was the first thing he did and found it.
Do you have bad cramps? With me, using the bathroom really aggravates my menstrual cramps, probably because more pressure is being put on the swollen sensitive areas. Maybe it's that?
Everytime I would have a pap it would hurt so bad. When they did the internal omg it hurt.
Enough was enough I researched and research but I had other symptoms and issues so it was being masked.
Finally I was diagnosed with Stage IV endometriosis. I had severe endo with a rectovaginal nodule.
Since my surgery my pain is gone pretty much. I am on the continuous birth control pill now and dont get a period so I am not sure if the pain would still be there if I came off it.
I hope some of that helps
