There are lots of ways to treat endo if it turns out you have it. It can cause pain in really weird places. I end up spending 1-2 days a month in bed feeling sorry for myself in pain. At least once a year it's so bad I can literally not walk for at least half a day.

 

I used hormone birth control for a long time as treatment and it was quite effective. I can no longer use it and instead have turned to home remedies and such to get me through until I can find a suitable surgeon I like. I am electing for radical surgery because of my age and circumstances, and simply having my uterus removed. I don't need nor desire a uterus or period any more, as they are nothing but trouble and pain.

 

If your doctor diagnosis you, you'll be able to work with them to find the best course of action for you. But use the internet and reputable websites with valid medical information to be informed so that you aren't just doing what you're told.

I agree, don't just go with the first treatment your doc tosses out. Start with the least invasive approaches, my advice. If they do a laparoscopy they'll probably try to remove what they can during the procedure.

My OB/GYN is going to revisit the possibility at my 6 week ultrasound. The report said the cyst was possibly endometrieom.

Right now they are looking at my kidneys and bladder. Along with this pain I had blood and protein in my urine and it's foul smelling. I'm also lightheaded.

I'll update when I find out what's going on! At least I know where to come for advise if I have endo!

Well, bladder and kidney issues can definitely make you sick and miserable. I hope they figure it out soon, and you feel better.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
