Hi there, I've been having pain around my pelvic area for 10 months now. The pain occurs a week before my period is due and through out my period but eases towards the end. The pain is when I'm trying to pass stools and sometimes urine. The pain is a tearing stretching pain and this makes it impossible to pass stools. I've had my bowels checked (i tried to explain it wasnt a stomache pain and stools are normal) which are remarkable (Dr words) so irritable bowel ruled out and no allergys. A nurse mentioned endemetrosis to me and so I'm now googling and asking for help . My other symtoms are pains down my legs, sharp sudden pain where ovaries are, heavy painful period for a few days then normal flow and Bad headaches. Thankyou for reading :-)
