COULD ENDO CAUSE E-COLI AND OTHER BACTERIA INTO THE BLADDER?!!!HELP!!!!From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed Apr 18 16:45:27 2007
I AM SO ABSOLUTELY FRUSTRATED. WHEN I WAS 15 I STARTED TO HAVE PAINFUL PERIODS, AND WOULD BLEED FOR WEEKS. WHEN I WAS 16 THEY FOUND A CYST ON MY OVARY. WHEN I WAS 17 (AFTER SEEING A TON OF DOCTORS) THEY DID A LAP, AND FOUND A SMALL SPOT OF ENDO, AND CAUTERIZED IT. FIVE YEARS LATER I WAS IN DEBILITATING PAIN-WOULD CURL UP AND CRY, MY PREVIOUS DOCTOR MOVED SO I NEEDED TO FIND A NEW OBGYN-THE ONE I FOUND WAS AWESOME & DID THE LAP SURGURY AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY FOUND A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT-I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT STAGE IT WAS (NEVER KNEW ENDO HAD STAGES) BUT THERE WAS ENOUGH TO GO ON LUPRON INJECTIONS FOR 6 MONTHS (THAT SUCKED). AFTER THE LUPRON WAS OVER I WENT ON BIRTH CONTROL FOR 6 MONTHS, AND AFTER 3 WEEKS OF BEING OFF THE PILL I WAS PREGNANT. I NURSED MY SON SO I DID NOT HAVE A PERIOD FOR ABOUT A YEAR AFTER HE WAS BORN. NOW FOR THE LAST 15 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 8 UTI'S-NOT ALL OF THEM WITH THE SAME BACTERIA EITHER-SOMETIMES IT IS E-COLI AND OTHERS PNEMONIA (SORRY IF SPELLED WRONG) THERE COULD BE OTHER BACTERIA AS WELL-MY RESULTS ARE OFTEN DISCLOSED TO ME AS-YOU HAVE AN INFECTION. OKAY SINCE I COULD GO TO THE BATHROOM ON MY OWN WE WILL SAY AGE 2 OR 3 (I AM 28 NOW) I HAVE NOT CHANGED HOW I WIPE-FRONT TO BACK, BEFORE THIS TIME I HAD MAYBE ONE OR TWO UTI'S MY WHOLE LIFE. AFTER MY SECOND INFECTION IN THE LAST 15 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN USING BABY WIPES AFTER DEFECATING TO AVOID BACTERIA FROM ENTERING MY URINARY TRACT. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT WORKING. AT MY LAST VISIT-BEFORE THIS 8TH ONE WAS FOUND (WHICH WAS ONLY RUN BECAUSE I HAD GIVEN THE SAMPLE BEFORE THE DOCTOR EXAMINED ME) THE DOCTOR SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL ME-IT COULD BE STRESS, GRAVITY, MY RECENT PREGNANCY (MY SON IS ALMOST 3). HE SAID HE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE EVERY DAY MUCH SICKER THAN MYSELF SO HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL ME. HE WOULD RUN THIS CULTURE SINCE I ALREADY GAVE IT. WELL THIS MADE ME CRY-A DOCTOR WHO I THOUGHT I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH-AND WHO WAS USUALLY VERY GOOD TO ME SEES THIS AS A PETTY VISIT MAYBE HE WAS HAVING A BAD DAY-BUT IT HURT-IT WAS NOT PETTY TO ME-WHEN I CANNOT FUNCTION, AND CANNOT PLAY WITH MY KIDS, OR DO REGULAR CLEANING AROUND THE HOUSE-IT FLAT OUT ANGERS ME. WELL I STARTED TO PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER AND STARTED TO THINK-COULD THIS BE RELATED TO THE ENDO-MY FLANK PAIN IS EITHER ONSET OR INCREASED AT THE TIME OF MY PERIOD, AND THE VERY FIRST DAY OF MY PERIOD I COULD USE A SANITARY NAPKIN AND NOT BLEED ON IT AT ALL, BUT WHEN I URINATE I PASS CLOTS AND THE URINE IS QUITE BLOODY, ALSO I AM A LARGER GIRL, BUT THERE APPEARS TO BE MORE GURTH TO MY RIGHT SIDE THAN MY LEFT (DURING MY PELVIC THE DOCTOR SAID EVERYTHING FEELS FINE AND MY RESULTS WERE NOT ABNORMAL, BUT I NEVER HAVE HAD AN ABNORMAL PAP-YET I HAD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ENDO. COULD THE E-COLI AND OTHER BACTERIA THAT TYPICALLY LIVE IN THE STOMACHE BE SPILLING INTO MY URINARY TRACT WITHOUT IT HAVING TO DO WITH MY HYGENE PRACTICES? I HAVEN'T GONE INTO THE CLINIC FOR A URINE TEST UNLESS I HAVE SEVERE FLANK PAIN, CHILLS, FEVER, AND NAUSEA-AND EVEN THOUGH MY KIDNEYS WERE HURTING LIKE A SOB-ONE OF THE RESULTS AT THE HOSPITAL SAID THERE WAS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF INFECTION. I AM CURRENTLY ON DETROL FOR AN OVERACTIVE BLADDER-RECENTLY PERSCRIBED AND HAVE BEEN ON ANTIBIOTICS 8 TIMES (HOW CAN THIS BE GOOD?). I FEEL LIKE THE DOCTORS THINK I AM DOING THIS TO MYSELF-IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY CHILDREN I NEED TO CARE FOR & LOVE SO MUCH-I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO. IF I KNEW FOR SURE THAT E-COLI AND OTHER BACTERIA INDEED COULD ENTER MY URINARY TRACT BECAUSE OF ENDO-I WOULD DEMAND ANOTHER SCOPE-MY LAST ONE WAS 5 YEARS AGO (SAME TIME AS BEFORE WHEN THERE WAS A SMALL SPOT CAUTERIZED TO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT) I DO NOT KNOW IF MY DOCTOR WILL DO IT OR NOT-HE SEEMS TO THINK WITH HIS ACCURACY AND THE TREATMENTS I HAVE HAD-THAT ENDOMETRIOSIS JUST ISN'T THERE ANYMORE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY ADVISE-IF THIS IS POSSIBLE AND IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 15 MONTHS-I THINK IT SHOULD GET TAKEN CARE OF SOON (AND PROVE TO MYSELF THAT I AM NOT CRAZY & NOT DOING THIS TO MYSELF).
