Pre surgery questionsFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 30 Jan 2003 09:23:12 -0600 (CST)
12/00 lap dx stage II endo. I was told all my implants were superficial. My OBGYN removed endo from my right ovary, top of uterus, uterosacral ligaments, peritoneum, cul-de-sac, and rectum. At the age of 19 I passed out several times prior to BM during period. I've had knife like pain prior to BM. This lasted for several years. Now I just have waves of terrible stomach pain prior to having a BM. Since June of 2002 I've had 3-4 bouts of extreme pain (during period) upon waking in the middle of the night. It feels like I just had a c-section. I can't even hardly roll over in bed, much less, get to the bathroom. Once I urinate, most of the pain is gone, just some residual pain. So I went to a new Gynecologist, she thought I had a severe stage based on symptoms. She referred my to a general surgeon and urologist. The general surgeon ordered CT of abdomen/pelvis, this came out normal. So he ordered a Barium Enema, this is scheduled for 2/4/03. I haven't seen the urologist yet. I am pretty sure the endo has invaded the bowel, because I can see red mucus, and cloudy white/red/purple clots on my stools. It is not very copious. I had a positive FOBT, not thought to be from hemroids. I also had a normal, but very painful, colonoscopy in 2000. Would a doctor think I'm some wacko if I took a digital picture of BM for proof? Please be honest. I have a tendency to doubt myself, should I be firm and insist the general surgeon check my bowel during surgery? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thank you.
