sorry in advance for the long thread. ive had issues starting from around the age of 12/13, i was first diagnosed with ibs at 14 after having a colonoscopy and endoscopy due to ongoing stomach pain and bowel problems (crohns disease runs in the family) then from the age of 16 i was having problems when having sex, bleeding and horrible pain after sex. i had a laparoscopy and they said i had adenomyosis, i fell pregnant at 19 and didnt have too many problems for a year or so, then i started getting the pains after sex and heavy periods again. my periods now are always 7-8 days and extremely heavy, i have to wear both tampons and pads and at my heaviest will need to change every 30-45 minutes. i had an internal scan 3 months ago and they found a few cysts and also saw there had been a ruptured cyst, the doctor also suspects i could have endometriosis. im waiting to see a gyno but have been told theres an 8 month waiting list. i currently cannot have sex due to the excruciating pain. i also get pains even when im not on my period. aswell as that pain i also have trouble with bowel movements, sometimes i feel like i really need to go but nothing will happen, and when i do go itll hurt and sting. sometimes i can deal with it but other times it can be unbarable and i really dont know how im gonna be able to wait 8 months for this to be sorted! has anyone gone to a&e for endo pain? is it worth it or will it be a waste of my time and nurses time?
