Sorry if this is a bit long but wanted to get other peoples opinions before I bother the doctors.
So i'm 28 now but i'll start from the beginning.
I had been on cerazette for quite a few years and would have about 1 bleed a year. In the middle of 2015, I started having random light periods, completely out of the blue. I also noticed blood a few times after having sex and afterwards would be in alot pain in the lower part of my stomach.
Doctor suggested to come off the pill so see if this made any difference. It didn't and i actually fell pregnant in the september. Everything was fine during the pregnancy except having pre eclampsia at 32 weeks where i had to have an emergency c section.
The same issues as before reappeared a few months after having my daughter. I started back on cerazette, and my periods had come back, I would have excruciating period pains like nothing i'd felt before. Bleeding from between 14-18 days at a time, cycles sometimes reaching 50+ days. Symptoms then started to include worse pain after sex (worse than before pregnancy) It was like a huge wave of pain, a deep deep ache that felt like it was deep inside along where i had the c section, i would have it so bad that i would be laying there in tears, and feel physically sick. After about 5 minutes the pain would usually just go.
Then came the needing to urinate all the time, i would be waking up multiple times a night to have a wee, but also felt like i wasn't fully emptying my bladder. Lower back pain too.
I finally contacted doctor who referred me to gynae. They suspected adhesions from the c section. After this i also had an ultrasound to look at my ovaries, which showed a small cyst on my right ovary, i was told this was normal and nothing was ever mentioned again. Anyway symptoms continued.
Had a laparoscopy done in july 2017 where they did find adhesions along where i had the c section plus some attached to my right ovary. All this was treated etc.
And now here I am almost 4 years later with the only improvement being that i urinate slightly less. I still have lower back pain, my periods are all over the place, I cramp alot, the pain after sex is still there and is affecting me alot, I never want to have sex anymore because I know how much pain i'm going to be in afterwards. I would say I have some mild bloating, nothing major. Although sometimes do look a few months pregnant.
Also alot of the pain seems to be more concentrated around the right ovary area.
As I said, the cyst on my ovary in 2016 was never mentioned again. But now with all this and all these symptoms not changing I'm worrying myself. I also hate to waste doctors time and am worried that even if I did see someone i wouldn't be taken seriously as i felt like this the first time round when I had a male gynae write down my symptoms.
Are there any tests i should be asking for? probably another ultrasound to look at the ovary. Ive just been pushing everything to the back of my mind these last few years but now I'm just fed up of feeling like this
