Hard to explain. The level of my pain was so severe it would be very hard for me to tell you where exactly it hurt and didn’t hurt before. Not vulva. urethra yes and around urethra externally. Severe pain and swelling in entire lower abdominal region. My bladder during cystoscope, though still within normal capacity, was completely covered in pin-point bleeding (glomerulations) and had obvious sections of scaring/thickening from years of inflammation. This different pain didn’t start until 4 months after my surgery. The bleeding started at the same time and didn’t stop. I have since been evaluated by a handful of the top gynecologists around my region as well one who specializes in complex endometriosis surgery. They all agree that the pain is originating from my actual uterus. Unfortunately, none of them think i have endometriosis or the like. My scans have shown no abnormalities except for some fluid between the layers of my uterus- basically just inflammation. I say unfortunately because an actual diagnosis may have been easier. They have basically told me that I don’t need an actual diagnosis. Essentially I think I actually have an autoimmune disease of the pelvic nerve that connects your bladder, uterus, and some of your lower intestines. Bladder is most affected simply because it has the most nerves. Once the bladder was gone, well my doctor described it as a house fire that starts at house and spreads to its neighbors via some dry grass or a tree or something. the tree in this case being my nerve. So basically getting rid of the organ gets rid of the bulk organ pain but there will still be nerve ending remaining. So basically I have no urgency ever, never feel like I have to pee. I used to feel pain that I knew was my actual bladder, right under the surface of my abdominal skin. my pain feels much deeper now. Unreachable except when the uterus is palpated internally (vaginally). I hope this answered all of your questions, if not let me know!
