Chronic Pelvic Pain

Hi,


 


I don't know where the pain is coming from but I am having lower pelvic pain.


I had an ultrasound and a few other tests done about a year ago and everything was clear. Urine samples were clear too. The thing is that I used to have recurrent UTI's (about 3-4 a year). Since I drink about 3 lt of water and take cranberry tablets I never experienced another UTI (they were all succesfully treated with antibiotics in the past).


I don't know what this pain could be. The Dr doesn't seem to know either. I would also like to mention that the pain started about a year ago while I started taking the oral contraceptive yasmin. I get it almost everyday, while some days it's stronger and other days weaker. I also experience pain when having sex sometimes and I have suspected endometriosis (needed a lapiroscopy to confirm). However, as far as I am aware endometriosis causes pain a few days before and during your period. I don't think it can cause everyday pain.


 


Please help!!!

Hi, I just happened to come across your post while I was searching for another topic, but just wanted to let you know that what you're experiencing sounds very much like Endometriosis. I have had it for five years, along with two surgeries. It's very common to have everyday pain, not only on your period.

Best of luck.

i have found out recently that i also have endometriosis and its been hell. i have read up quite a bit about the disease and heard lots of stories of friends of friends. but i have not actually talked to someone who has it them selves, who has had to deal with it for longer than i have.
this has taken over my life, i would really appreciate it if you could tell me a little more about what you have been through. if you aren't comfortable with doing that, no problem no hard feelings what so ever. but i think its at lease worth asking.
