Endometriosis Support Group

Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

Bladder pain

deleted_user
deleted_user
I went to the doctors for my follow up after my lap last Tuesday. I've had bladder pain when I pee.. a lot of pressure and now when I pee I have to pretty much push it out, which hurts. I am sorry if its TMI but my doctor blew it off and just said its because I don't drink enough when I drink a TON. I always have a drink in my hand.

I don't know if I should bring it up to her again or what. She said she didn't use a cathader(sp) during the surgery so I have nothing to worry about, but the endo is on my Bladder.

You need to give yourself time to heal. After surgery many areas in the body feel really weird and painful. If it keeps up definitely make your doc take you seriously.

I would ask the opinion of another dr. Did they remove the endo from your bladder?

It could be your body healing. Give it some time.
However, if it doesn't go away because I had the same problem be pushy! Women with Endo have a lot of other co-occurring disorders. Go to a urologist next. I was just diagnosed last week with institial cystitis or painful bladder syndrome after no one listened to my bladder complaints for a year and a half! It took a urologist to finally diagnose me. He said it was likely caused by the constant inflammation of Endo.

I recommend to only drink water right now. Avoid fruit juices, soda, coffee, etc. to allow your body to heal.

Good luck!

I have endo on my bladder and ureter and I don't need to push my pee out. I do have pelvic floor dysfunction from my last lap thought and it makes peeing hard at times. You should never have problems peeing without seeing a urologist!!!!!! If you can't pee or have an infection, something needs to be done ASAP.

Thank you for all the advice. I ended up going to the emergency room the other day and finding out that I had a UTI. The doctor couldn't believe that the gynecologist missed it and just wrote it off, and then when he called the doctor to find out more information she was REALLY rude to him. :/

I didn't even consider a UTI because you said you went to the doctor for a follow up! I can't believe your doctor missed that!

When i went for the follow up she didn't do anything but push lupron and peel the glue they used to seal my incisions off. :/

When I complained about the bladder pain she point blank said it was just because I don't drink enough and wrote it off. ugh its so frustrating :/

Im glad you got some answers! IF it doesnt clear up after a few wks...insist on seeing a Urologist...could be cystitis.

Some things that can agrivate cystitis are orange juice/grapefruit/spicy food...anything acidic.

When I had surgery a few months ago, the doc said that she found most of my endo on my bladder. Before then, I would get the most horrible pains that I do NOT want to repeat, and after the surgery, it took me a few weeks to get over the pain I felt there.
