Hi Well I’m 24, was diagnosed with Endo at 18 after suffering pain during sex with my first partner. I was diagnosed after mithering the doctors that something wasn't right (I mostly got told that you're too young to suffer anything serious). Upon a Laparoscopy they found endo on my pelvis and ovaries and subsequently treated for this.

The pain subsided and then gradually came back and I started to suffer with pains, this time on my bowel. Well I have currently had a Colonoscopy (for which I would say to anyone with endo, if recommended, have with caution) for investigation for colitis etc as the Gynae clinic said I was too young for endo on the bowel. Well low and behold the Gastro Clinic suggest that I in fact have endo in the bowel. I am currently waiting on results and taking pain killers etc.

With me being so young I do often find that people my own ages don't understand my situation when I get pain or become depressed and often find that my partners get fed up of, to put it bluntly (lack of sex on tap) and often find myself in the same spirals of being alone or walked out on.

Hopefully I can gain some self esteem back on here and help and guide other people who need help or just a chat.
