Endo after ectopic?
Hi all,
I’ve had an ectopic with a left salpingectomy in March. Since then, I’ve been suffering from a fair bit of pain. It started with twinges and pulling on the affected ovary and slowly progressed onto the other side, then uterus to eventually the entire undercarriage. Paracetamol doesn’t touch it. I have about a week’s respite after period but it starts up with ovulation and carries through till the end of the period. I’ve had an appointment today with a totally different department but when I mentioned this, the endocrinologist there said it sounds like endometriosis. I’ve done a bit of reading and it looks like ectopics may be able to trigger this. Has anyone had similar experiences?

Thank you for messaging. I’m so sorry to hear about your ectopic and what you’ve been through. I’m being referred to gynaecology through my gp now. Not sure how long it will take. I may be able to get an mri through my work health insurance before then. Hopefully will get some answers..
@Barbara we have about 18 month/2year wait for gynae in Somerset so hopefully you can be seen a lot quicker with tour insurance. I feel for you as it’s not nice and just constant pain 😔 x
Whoa, 18 months?! That’s madness! Yeah I do hope it will be quicker than that..
@Barbara fingers crossed for you but sadly ours can be up to 2 years which is crazy 😔 we are in middle countryside though it may be different in the city. Good luck x x

Sorry you have gone through this. I suffered a hetroectopic last January and when they opened me up they found endo. Since then I have awful pain, the last few months being worse I had a scan last week so said tubes and ovary’s are all fine but sadly can’t see endo in an ultra sound scan. Push and push for investigations push until someone listens x x
