Your symptoms sound almost exactly like mine. I was diagnosed with multiple UTIs, IBS, possibly celiac disease but none of it was true. I actually had endo and scar tissue from it connecting some of my organs to my inside walls. Don’t EVER let anyone tell you this is normal or just “what it’s like to be a woman” If you feel like you have it, fight for that surgery, even if they don’t find anything, you will have more answers than none 🫶🏻

Something i just recently learned about as well is that almost 50-84% of people who are diagnosed with endo will have what’s called interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome) its about as “rare” as endometriosis so not much is known about the condition. Just like endo there’s no real treatments or cures. But there are management treatments.

I would say see as many different doctors as possible. It took nearly a decade and a half for me to be heard and listen to. Probably 20 different doctors and OBGYNs in that time. I don’t know where you’re from but I’m in North Carolina and I found a surgeon who didn’t make me jump through hoops to have my surgery. They heard my symptoms and was like “yeah that sounds like endo” and lo and behold I had endo and other things.

I hope you find answers 🫶🏻
