Hello,
I have a question for ladies. I am in clinical remission with UC, but still have slight active inflammation in rectum
I know (and it happens to me too) period effects UC- I have pain in lower abdomen and in rectum. As I always have some very very mild pain/ tenderness in lower abdomen (can’t figure out why), this time pain was a little bit stronger and hit me very hard in mid-cycle!!!!!!!!!! It was intense in abdomen going left to right and back, my rectum was painful (hard to sit) and I had a sharp stabbing pain for like an hour in it!!!!!!!(My God wanted to die!!!!!). Abdomen pain left in like 48 hours but still, I feel slight discomfort in my pelvis region and in rectum.
What scares me most- I have pain during intercourse somewhere deep inside. I don’t have much sex drive for a while already and this experience just killed it totally
We are trying for a bobby but after that …..
After all this I scheduled gynecological exam in end of Sept, and GI in mid-October, but would love to hear if any ladies ever had any similar experiences (it’s a long time to wait and I’m very nervous).
p.s. I have my annual gynecological exam every half a year, had my last in March- during transvaginal exam I had some slight pain when pressing my abdomen, but my doc said it‘s from UC.
