What Causes Pelvic Pain And Constipation After Undergoing A Colonoscopy?
Question: My wife has been having pelvic pains for at least a year. Everything the doctors have done they say there is nothing wrong. She had a colonoscopy and the scope down her throat. She had ultrasounds, CT's and a systo. She has had a total hesterectomy 40 years ago. A gynocologist found nothing. She has a hard time having bowel movements and usually has to take laxitives to go to the bathroom. She also has several urinary infections. She had a bladder uplift 25 years ago but the pelvic/groin pains have been severely painful in the last year. Intercourse is also painful. The pelvic pains are so painful she can hardly walk at times. I don't think it is all in her head so outside of that what are your thoughts?
