For the past year my periods have gone from a light flo with absolutely no poblems at all to heavy and completely EVIL! 1weeks before my cycle I am beyond exausted and I have a mind blowing migrain. The week of my cycle I am in undescribable pain. I feel like I'm in labor, having what feelings like contractions. And when I have a bowel movement (which is an act of congress, because I'm sooooo constipated) during this time, I feel like Iam delivering a 20 pounder with skin made out of broken glass. I average about 7-9 UTI's in one year. I've been having bladder infections off and on since I was 5yrs. I'm now 29 and this has been a carzy year. Back and forth to Urologists, 3 months of Urethra dialation, "you have IC" no, "you have over active bladder" no "it's just from intercourse" or I get "there is no infection! we aren't sure whats causing the symptoms." Saying I'm frustrated is an understatment. Early Nov. I was having the typical UTI symptoms. Went to the lab, they did a culture, the doc says you have no infection. Went to my OBGYN thinking that maybe it was a vaginal infection. I gave a urine sample that they analized, and the very first thing he said to me was " you have a bladder infection!" He did a pelvic exam and notice my uterus was "enlarged" and "tilted" back. He was thinking a fibroid maybe. Did an utrasound. It was negative. Treated me for the UTI. I still had painful urination and painful intercourse. 2 weeks later took some Mag Citrate for my constipation (no big thing, one of my rituals...Miralax, Fiber, Milk of Mag, if desprate an Enama. GI doc diagnosed me with IBSw/Constipation 3 months ago). So the Mag Citrate had me going back and forth that day. I did not make it on one occasion and made a mess. Got cleaned up and be for I could get out of the shower, the very loose stool started coming out with no effort at all. Come to find out it was free flowing from my vaginal area. I Jumped back in the shower just to make sure. I put on a pad and sure enough I felt like I had a menstrual flow but it was stool. So I did not quite belive it so I got back in the shower again and this time I put a tampon on. Slept with it on and checked in in the morning. It had stool on it. I about fainted!!! I have an OBGYN appointment this Friday, what should I be sure to ask?

hey if i were you i would write down all ur symptoms you just told us because just by looking at that you have me really worried about you. you need to write down every symptom from day one that you started this because you might not be telling them stuff because ur under to much stress. i really really hope that you find out whats wrong because that is not normal. even tell them about the accidents ur having and the loose stools and everything write every little thing down even if ur not sure if it has anything to do with it because you could have a rare condition that even drs themselves have a hard time figureing out. i wish you tons of luck keep me updated because that does not sound good at all. %-)
sounds like ur going through a real night mare.

Thanks! :-) I just heard back from my doc(OBGYN). My visit friday he did a recto-vaginal exam, looking for a Fistula. Well he said that he did not see one. At the moment I felt relief, but soon after I was even more frustrated. How did the tampon get soiled with stool when I inserted it after my 3rd shower? I made sure the area was clean and left the tampon in overnight to make certain. My doc says its unlikely there is a Fustula because I had my son 4 years ago. He things that maybe things got a little messy and that is how it got on the tampon. My doc called me back today, Tuesday to tell me that the urine culture was negitive for bacteria growth, which means no infection. I feel horrible and have symptoms of a UTI. So after that appointment I'm still left clueless. He did leave it up to my Husband and I to decide if we want to do the surgery to diagnose Endometriosis. We are both ify on that because we want to have a baby soon. We were told pregancy would make the pain go away if I do in fact have Endometriosis, but no way to detect it with out having Laparoscopy. I'm totally going to stick to writting everything down. Then present it to my Primary Care Doc, I know she is about sick of me. Thanks for your thoughts.
