Leslie,

I'm not exactly a veteran of endo, but after my last lab my doc told me that I have endo on my bowl, bladder, and in my abdominal cavity. He did not make me see another doc, but cut and burned it all off himself. Maybe your doc can do the same. Before my surgery I had a lot of pressure when I had to use the bathroom. I could not hold it for any amount of time. I also hurt when I used the restroom. I didn't relize the pain was related to the endo. My doc found it on his own. I hope you do tell your doc about your concerns. Good luck.
