@MagpierainbowPush push push. My old gp when I was first diagnosed got the hump with me because I refused zoladex he told me "you can't come in here & keep asking for diathermy" wishing you luck & strength
I did not know this. after years and years and years of hell was diagnosed with endo back in 2000. Long story short I am now under a gum specialistHi all,
Do any of you with Endo suffer with your teeth/gums?
(Not been diagnosed with Endo, waiting for results of a scan and then a laparoscopy)
Since as long as I can remember I’ve suffered with inflamed and bleeding gums. I brush twice a day with a good electric toothbrush, floss, follow all advice from my dentist but nothing seems to change. Id hate the fact my dentist probably feels I don’t look after my teeth properly.
I’ve read that having Endo can affect gum health and more likely to have gum disease (& hormone levels can too, especially pregnancy) but I can’t find much info on it all. Would love to hear if anyone is similar.
This is so interesting to read, I had heard of it being in the nose and causing nose bleeds, but not thought of the mouth! I have endo, and now I think about it, for months I’ve had just one area of gum that bleeds randomly most days - it can even start just while I’m talking! So embarrassingHi all,

It literally is years and years isn’t itI did not know this. after years and years and years of hell was diagnosed with endo back in 2000. Long story short I am now under a gum specialist
Ooh and I’d never heard of it being in the nose!This is so interesting to read, I had heard of it being in the nose and causing nose bleeds, but not thought of the mouth! I have endo, and now I think about it, for months I’ve had just one area of gum that bleeds randomly most days - it can even start just while I’m talking! So embarrassingI’ve been to the dentist several times and all ok, it’s not inflamed or sore - it just bleeds in this one place!
That's really interesting I have found that happening to me cyclicly (hope that's right word) I found articles about it but haven't been to gp to be referred or anything as am now on verge of menopause so am hoping to get to other side with pain managementhad heard of it being in the nose and causing nose bleeds,
How are you feeling now? X@Magpierainbow
Thank you, I will go back to the GP once I’ve got over my pneumonia/chest infection. My head’s spinning with it all at the moment. Unfortunately, my GP has always been one of those ‘if you don’t act bothered, I’m not gonna act bothered’.
And I’ve never been one to make a fuss, I always feel guilty approaching the doctors. Especially the past two years. But why should I be left like this? Why should I accept this as ok?!
HiHow are you feeling now? X
If it’s a diagnostic lap (which is what isn’t sounds like) then you’ll want 1-2 weeks off work to recover but you’ll be on your feet (albeit slowly) the same/next day. If you’re having excision surgery then up to 6 weeks.Hi all I am due to have my first laparoscopy in a few weeks after years of ttc with no joy and a rubbish doctor who dismissed my unusual cycles etc. I finally managed to go private which is good news. Can anyone help me with advice of what to take what I may need and a rough recovery time as I assumed I would be up and about real quick but research shows no. Tia x
Thank you so much. I am not 100% sure what they are doing but I have my pre op next week so I can find out more then. Thank you though xIf it’s a diagnostic lap (which is what isn’t sounds like) then you’ll want 1-2 weeks off work to recover but you’ll be on your feet (albeit slowly) the same/next day. If you’re having excision surgery then up to 6 weeks.
I felt exactly the same and completely understand!I finally have my first laparoscopy booked but I’m terrified they won’t find anything and it will be a waste of time
Bless you ! I was exactly the same I was referred from my GP last year for the initial consultation. Kept thinking they forgot me. In the end I called up the gynaecology department and the patronising call handler told me it’s 8-9 months for initial consult and then another 2 years for surgery. So I went private (Benenden health who are very reasonable) saw a consultant and was booked in within a month, hope you get some answers soon xxHad a pelvic MRI in December 2021. Haven’t heard a thing since.
I know the NHS are under so much pressure right now, but would you all think this is normal in terms of waiting times? Or should I be contacting the gynae/her medical secretary asap?
My gynae said to me if they didn’t find anything on the MRI then next step would be laparoscopy. Been almost 2 years since my referral from GP … so fed up of the waiting. No answers, nothing.
As shocking and unacceptable as those waiting times are I’m glad it’s not just me experiencing them.Bless you !
