Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I'm female 27years of age I have 3 children.. The last few months I have had irregular periods I've been over a week late and when I finally had my period it was very heavy and a lot longer than usual. I also bleed in between periods spotting and heavy and it can be anytime during the day/night.. I also have a lot of pains pelvic pain I get shooting pains or cramping and it can be severe sometimes and shooting pains in my cervix has recently started.. bloating happens an awful lot but i always put that down to having ibs but it's happening an awful lot I'm in so much discomfort.. intercourse can be painful too and I don't even enjoy it anymore I've had bleeding after intercourse a few times.. and when I cough it hurts! recently I started brown discharge sometimes it can be white or yellow but I've never had brown before.. since last year I started urinating a lot I thought I might of been diabetic but after tests I've put that to the back of my mind until all of these symptoms have started.. the urinating is a real pain it literally comes out of nowhere and I feel I have no control I feel very full and need to run the toilet and it can be every 20-30mins that I go and feels like I haven't been for a few hours with a real fullness feeling.. what's strange and another new symptom is that when I wee it can sting (sometimes) towards the end feeling like a UTI but I could have that sting once a day and nothing for a week then another day it could be 3-4 times it wouldn't sting so it's very on and off.. bowel movements can put a lot of pressure on my stomach too.. I'm up to date with smear tests I had one about 2 years and had severe pre cancerous cells but had the treatment and was checked a few months later and I was clear so I'm not worried about that.. but I could possibly have endometriosis I've known for about 6years as I've had lot of tests over the years with very painful periods etc my mum also had endometriosis and had a full hysterectomy about my age now.. I was suppose to have key hole surgery about 4years ago but I never knew that it was anything to worry about so I've always left it and hoped it would go away.. I'm wondering weather my symptoms all sound like endometriosis or something else? I'm very worried because my body is constantly warning me with all the pains I'm getting and the frequent toilet trips! I went to my Drs yesterday and I'm having bloods done later to check fibroids and everything else and I've been booked in for a pelvic ultrasound.. but my dr wasn't very clear if it could be endometriosis or something else and I know he doesn't know until tests are ruled out but I would of liked to of walked away with some sort of answers as to what my symptoms may be a result of.. I'm really scared and worried and I suffer with anxiety and ADHD so I really can't relax or sto thinking the worst.. Please help
