IBD/S or Reproductive Problem?

[bellekeat]

Hi guys, after consulting my doctor regarding pain in the lower back and possibly the bowel, stool sample taken first and came back with extra proteins. So, colonoscopy recommended. Pains around bowel and small intestine have got worse admittedly but I can't help worry that my initial pain in the reproductive area is being ignored by my doctor. Anyway, after visiting time and time again he is certain I have colitis..... without any diagnostics. Won't be certain til other tests done. So, about one's women trouble. My periods are fine , on time etc but the pain is all month long, like ovulation pain, constantly. Ironic that when I do menstruate the pain is less....Ugh, between this and potential colitis and Crohn's I'm fed up of looking for answers. Maybe I need to chill out somewhat. I just don't like my body being out of balance is all. On top of it I have a son with Autism (single mam) and feel generally stressed out. Maybe not helping with my abdominal pain eh? Anyway just needed a vent...thanks to all who listen. Appreciated :ghug:

I would think it's a good idea to ask your GP to be referred to a Gynecologist and get checked out -- at this point I don't think this is your GI's area of expertise anymore.

Are you on any form of birth control, currently?

I would agree with asking for a referral to an ob/gyn. You need to get all of this figured out.

Yeah. Seeing consultant in 2 weeks so will get them to sort me and refuse to leave til I get something arranged. No birth control at the minute no. I feel like my head is gonna explode with all this. Thank you so much guys for your support
