Can endometriosis be missed during a laparoscopy? I have very painful periods, heavy bleeding, pain in lower back and legs during period and pre-men as well. Painful bladder during period and ovulation alway feels like uti. Had bladder scan and camera, all normal. Painful bowel movement during period. Sharp pains and the dull ache when ovulating can last upto 4 days. Bloating during ovulation, pre-men and during period. Pain during and after sex. Mid cycle bleeding. Nearly alway tired. Only have about a week just after period where i feel okay still have slight pelvic pain, like a dull ache. I also have a shooting pain down the front of my leg just before and during my period. I think the pain radiates from ovary region. No cyst had scan.
The pain i experience since i started menstruating at 11, i am now 35, has lead me to miss school, college and work. I miss days with my family because i'm in such pain i have to stay in bed with hot water bottle and painkillers.
I had a PE when pg. i do have 2 children had my first at 24 and second at 28. Still had period like pain when pregnant. Both delivered by c-section.
When i had my laparoscopy over 2 months ago, was told had few adhesions from c-section which were removed but no endo. I had my lap a few days after my period.
Treatment i have now is just mirena coil. But now rather than having v heavy periods for 5 days, i bleed for 10 days. I still have all the pain.
After my lap i was discharged from gyne services.
I've no fibroids or PID.
If it not endo them what else can it be? Can endo be missed during lap?
Thank you for reading
