I had endo excised off of my bladder during my last surgery, so let’s explore this together and see what we think.
Short answer?Maybe.
Long answer?
When was the last time you had your endo excised? Did they mention anything about it being on or near your bladder? Whether or not they did, can you request your surgery report and take a look?
Do you have any of these symptoms?
I know you mentioned frequent urination & lower belly pressure but:
Do you have an urgency to pee? Like you need to pee RIGHT NOW?
When you do pee does it sting, burn, or hurt?
Have you noticed your urine to be; Cloudy? Dark? Strong smelling? Or bloody?
If you have most or all of those symptoms I would go into your PCP and have them do a urinalysis just to rule out an UTI.
In the mean time: Are you in pelvic floor physical therapy?
-And-
Do this after you do your urinalysis, or tell them you took this, but use some AZO or off brand AZO with the active ingredient: Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride (the max strength is 99.5mg). This will numb up the bladder and ureters but it will make everything an orange/red color. So, wear a thin pad and don’t be surprised when you pee orange 😂
I had pretty consistent bladder infections for ten months in a row.. I was put on antibiotics and it continued to come back, it would happen 2 days before or after my period.. I used to pee every 5 minutes at night.
I'm not officially diagnosed but I have something similar! If I hold my pee for too long my stomach and pelvis start to ache so much worse, and regularly after I go to the toilet it feels like there's velcro between my organs that's being pulled apart! It's so odd...
I hope you get answers soon and wishing you the best!
Have you had your urine checked for a uti?
