Consultant Dismisses My Endometriosis Pain

Some doctors say that because it can have some similar pain/issues and a lot of insurances make them say they tried XYZ before tossing you into a procedure. However if that's not the case and you're still having issues and they deny it I'd definitely get another opinion. Also when you get the test done for constipation try to empty out as much as you can beforehand because I've had instances where they saw a little bit of poop and labeled it constipation and it wasn't. Good luck to you! ❤️❤️

Thank you everyone I will definitely go and see another doctor!

100% agree with everyone saying to try another doctor. For me, a naturopath has been the one who actually listens to me and doesn't write off my pain as other causes

It’s important to remember that you can have more than one pain generator! I had so many, and have been on a journey solving each one. Just because there’s pain from constipation doesn’t mean there isn’t always lap pain with endo! I agrée with everyone else that seeing a different doctor may be beneficial, maybe someone who specializes in pelvic pain beyond just gyn, in addition to an excision specialist! I needed a lot of people of different specialties on my team.

I agree you need to find someone who will provide the investigation you are seeking!

I would definitely see another doctor. I was told the same thing for over 10 years by over a dozen doctors and last year I found out I had endo everywhere. Not saying you definitely have it but if you have severe period pain I would definitely see someone else.
