Re: anyone with endo have ibs, bladder problems, pain during sex or intestinal problems?

Yes, yes and yes!!!
I first suspected I had new troubles when I began having pain with
intercourse. I either have IBS or have the symptoms because of the
endo. I also have fibromyalgia which causes a lot of symptoms like
endo, but mainly fatigue and chronic pain.
I was sent to a urologist to check for IC (intercystial cystitis sp?)
but I don't have the urgency and frequency, although it sounds like you
do.
You may have that or the endo may be causing those problems.
But my main trigger for seeing a gynecologist in the first place was the
intercourse pain -- and sure enough, I had the lap Tuesday and they
found it.
I've also been diagnosed with gerd, but have very few obvious problems.
The worst is the pain and the IBS symptoms.
Looks like many of us can agree and understand what the other is going
through -- seems like there is a link.
Hope this helped.
Jennifer
