Bleeding heavy after sex..doctor isn't helpful...advice ?

[beerfear33]

I'm 36 and for the past two years I've bled after sex.
Not just that,I can't touch the inside of right side of vagina or I get a sharp pain.
I can't wipe after going to the toilet as it hurts.
My smear was fine,all sti checks and swabs fine.

I had a laparoscopy in 2019 and they found a small bit of endometriosis on my womb but they just left it ..I don't know why they didn't remove it.
I also have a burning sensation in my bum a lot of the time.
Constant feeling like I need a wee.
The doctor has offered me the pill.
No ultrasound or nothing

Could this be the endometriosis?
I have really bad back ache from ovulation and constant gas
What could it be ?
Any ideas please ?

Endometriosis cannot be ruled out here as a possible cause for your symptoms now and you ought to be seen by a gynae asap.

Re your previous laparoscopy op, was this merely a diagnostic lap?. Is that why the endometriosis seen was not removed. Appalling treatment on the part of the surgeon if that is the case.

If your gp is unhelpful can you see another doctor within the practice?. The pill will only mask the symptoms and not address why this is happening. An ultrasound scan will not detect endometriosis if it is there, it s usually detected via a laparoscopy.

@AttilaTheMeerkat yeah it was a diagnostic lap.
Then I didn't even see a gynaecologist after.
They just discharged me saying a small spot was found on my uterus and that was it.

Hi I had similar, unfortunately it’s been going on for years even when I finally seen a consultant she told me to get the coil 🤦‍♀️ I’ve pretty much given up!

Keep pushing until you get answers or at the very least an appointment with a consultant soon.

Are you in UK op? Bleeding after intercourse is not normal and you SHOULD be referred for 1 an ultrasound and 2 to see a gynaecologist. If your GP does not refer you then you must insist on seeing another GP.

I'm in the UK yes.
I asked for a internal ultrasound but was refused.
I think there's something obviously going on to cause pain on wiping,random sharp pains etc
I just wish I knew

You've been both fobbed off and let down to date. DO not give up and keep on pushing for answers from people who are more willing, not just to say able, to help you.

I would request the GP here to refer you to another hospital gynae unit, certainly not the place that performed the diagnostic lap then discharged you.

Is there a Nuffield or Spire hospital near to you; I would consider contacting them for an initial consult with a gynae. It will cost but it could be money well spent.

I have had more internal ultrasounds than I care to mention and NONE of those ever detected the endometriosis present throughout my uterine cavity.

www.endometriosis-uk.org/ is also a good website full of helpful information.

Let us know how you get on. You will need to be persistent in order to get answers.

I had a small amount of bleeding after sex or mid-cycle for months. But no pain. I had a pelvic ultrasound then some months later a transvaginal ultrasound which found nothing.
My GP was unsure what to do next so she wrote a letter to the gynaecologist for advice. Then eventually they called me on for a hysteroscopy which identified the problem as polyps.
I have had to push hard for everything because of the pandemic. What you are experiencing is not normal. I think I would keep on asking for a referral. Try a different GP within the practice perhaps?

You are entitled to change GP. You do not have to give a reason. Just contact another surgery and ask if you can transfer. Your symptoms should be explored further. Bleeding after sex is not normal and I would say very worrying. Find a better GP.

I’d change GP too, unusual bleeding should always be checked out.
