You only need to do a bowel prep when they suspect it is on your bowel and they may need to do bowel surgery.

I never had a bowel prep either, just no eating or drinking from midnight (my op was at 8am). I have endo and have all but 2 of those symptoms and the pain is slowly getting worse as well ]]> Wed, 12 Mar 2008 07:09:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15135&PID=323278&title=endo-and-immune-system#323278 <![CDATA[Endo and Immune system? : bowel prep No mention of that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15135&PID=323228&title=endo-and-immune-system#323228 Author: Two Blondinis

Teresa I never did a "bowel prep" when I had my ops. Just the usual no eating for so many hours.

Other general symptoms may prevail:

•      Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
•      Pain at other times (eg. with ovulation)
•      Pain in other places (eg. Lower back pain)
•      Abnormal menstrual bleeding
•      Pain before or with urination

Are you being treated for it??


I'm so glad I'm having my op next week! I just sat here and checked off all but one on that list

For me it seems like the endo knows it's days are numbered as I'm having a killer of an AF and have been popping Panadol every 4 hours all day and night! 6 days to go!

I was thinking more on this today... it's probably not a immune system thing but just that the body is so busy doing heaps more work than it ought to be. Either way, I'm getting rather quickly sick and tired of endo!! I want it out and I have to wait waa waa waa

My "treatment plan" is the Pill until I can get an op (prob next year sometime, I'm on public). Didn't realise it was a symptom, I'll have to mention it to my doc next time I see him (probably in 4 weeks time after next month's Ov).]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:35:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15135&PID=321282&title=endo-and-immune-system#321282 <![CDATA[Endo and Immune system? : Yes and has been for year; a bit...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15135&PID=321182&title=endo-and-immune-system#321182 Author: mummy_becks

Yes and has been for year; a bit of it is to do with lack of Iron (i'm looking at getting another course of jabs) but I also had GF when I was 16 and that sometimes like to come back not at full strength but enough to knock me out for a few days.

Do immune systems recognise that the endo building up around various places is a "malfunction" and try to fight it?
