Endometriosis Symptoms: Pelvic Pain, Abdominal Swelling & More
QuestionThe doctors are pretty sure I have endometrosis. I've had two cystectomies in the past year. The last one was in January. This past month, I've been experiencing nausea, vomiting, severe pelvic pain, migraines that last for days, abdominal swelling, fatigue, that I haven't had since before my surgeries. I am 100% sure I have a cyst or more growing on my ovaries and belly has gotten bigger in the past few days. I've also lost 10+ pounds in the past two weeks. I have a new obgyn doctor and he has scheduled a laprascopy on July 3rd to diagnose endometrosis. I went to him last week and told him that I have another cyst or more and he didn't take me seriously. He said it was all hormonal and put me a low dose birth control. My next step is my family doctor, which can't get in to see until Friday morning. Does it sound like I have another cyst? I noticed the belly seemed bigger Saturday morning and today it just got much bigger. I did research on appendicitis and pancreaticis and it dosen't sound like them. Maybe appendicitis because I had an uncle and a cousin who had theirs removed, but I don't have the pain around my belly button and it doesn't radiate. It's a constant pain. I am currently taking Tramadol for the pain, which relives just the pelvic pain for a while, but not the migraines. I had one last 5 frickin' days and that's the longest! I don't think I have until July 3rd. If it is appendictis and with my swollen belly, it could be a sign that my appendix ruptured because otherwise my stomach is fine, except for the pain. I had all these symptoms prior to my last surgeries. What do you think it could be? Please help...am in a lot of pain and uncomfortable.
Answercysts will not grow "in front of your eyes." If your abd is swelling, that is usually intestinal and you may have colitis (intestinal swelling and bloating) That will cause noticeable belly swelling quickly. (as will pregnancy) I would check preg first, then consider an intestinal problem. Appendicitis isn't out of the question...
