Hi everyone,
I'm getting the following symptoms and wonder if they could be endo-related. Can anyone help?
- sharp, upward moving pains in what feels like the cervix area (random times, not menstrual-related).
- painful intercourse - feels achey and pressurey, and sometimes like it's rubbing on a sore spot on the left hand side. I'm not dry.
- Cramping after intercourse.
- red spotting after intercourse or any insertion (ultrasound etc).
- very very painful pap smear attempt - she could insert the speculum but once she tried to open it it felt like I was being attacked with a butcher's knife on the left hand side.
- very irregular, heavy and long-lasting periods (think 30 day long AF and 20 maxi-pads a day and still leaking all over the place)
- a lot of brown spotting when not on period.
- diarrhea or just soft stools nearly everyday.
I'm waiting to get scheduled in for a lap/hyst so I guess I'll know either way once that's done, but just want an idea in the meantime. I should add that my periods are NOT painful aside from the usual cramps.
Thanks for your help.
