My dd is 15 and I just don’t know what I can do to help her anymore.
Shes had bowel issues for a few years, the paediatrician appointments have always been via phone as the first was during covid. They always put her pain and bowel movements down to ibs. He would not listen to anything else she said.
Then she started having massive bleeds. The blood would run down her legs and she would have to have me help shower and dress her. I took her to a&e the first time it happened and they asked for a urine sample, she left blood all over the seat and was struggling to walk. They didn’t even examine her and sent us to OOH who said it’s another uti and gave her a bottle of morphine. She had several uti’s. The same thing has happened 4 times over 18 months.
We saw a different paediatrician in person a few months ago and he said she doesn’t have ibs and gave 6 months worth of movicol and said that should help her. He said the uti’s were because she wasn’t able to empty her bladder properly. She still has constant diarrhoea.
We saw a private gyne in sept who put her on the pill to stop her periods as endometriosis runs in both sides of our families. She’s now been bleeding for 66 days. She’s really struggling with the clots and pains and hardly sleeping. We’ve just gone to the gp again who just gives her more pain killers but nothing else really.
The gyne has changed the pill so we are hoping this will stop her periods.
She said last week when she’s 18 she’s going to ask for everything to be removed so she won’t have constant pain and periods.
She has just finished her mocks and I don’t know how she’ll cope if she’s like this during her GCSE’s.
Has anyone had anything like this with their dd?
