I was just looking up what you use ponstan for as emmy said to try that..and i came across endometriosis so i was wondering is that the name for it emmy?
i know in my case the gynae i was seeing thought mine sounded like endo, but i fell pregnant before it could be explored further, but hopefully once i'm all better i hope to have it all looked into for this. so could possibly be for the other girls also.
Endo could be a possibility as is several other things. In my case it is called something that I don't know the name of. Its very common and feels like knives going up your bum. Only first few days of your period comes infrequently doesn't last longer then 20-30secs at the most no warning and it hurts like he#l. Going to the loo usally starts an attack although it happens when not going or needing to go to the loo. Any one with Endo experience this? Or else know the name of it?
I get these pains too but have had them forever. They come and go over a yr, sometimes mild and faint other times they nearly knock me off the toilet seat! lol Sometimes I thnk there is something wrong with me but having read how many of us actually get them, well, I am not worried anymore.
I read up on Endo and it doesnt really sound like what i experience. But you hit the nail on the head with your last post emmy...I might try and google it somehow..lol..see what i come up with. But if like you said you can find out that would be great.
I got on this internet site about women experiencing anal pain during there periods. Some of the post were pretty funny actually insisting it was wind (absolutely not if only it was that) and lots saying it was called "proctalgia fugax". The name my mum said it was (that no one else seems to know the name or heard of it in any of the one thousand posts). Its bugging me now as when I told my mum I had these pains a few years ago she said she did too and had being to the dr and was told the exact name of it. If only she remembered or the dr was still alive I would go see him. He was a practicing dr up till 6months ago when he suddenly died. This internet site lots of women had being to dr's and none of them said it was this name my mum reckons it is (My mum is a practice manager at a dr's surgery so she knows her stuff). The name Proctalgia fugax was mentioned in lots of posts though. It sounds very similar except its not related to your period and effects men and women.
