Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi!
If I were you I would have the doctor do an ultrasound. When I was in my 20's I had terrible pains especially during the menstrual cycle. The doctor made up every excuse mostly inflamed tubes and even in my head. He had me go for every test other kind of test as I started bleeding from both ends. While having my kidney's checked they saw a large shadow in the picture with the kidneys and did an ultrasound right there on the spot. I ended up having to have a hysterctomy at age 34 and by the doctor not checking the endometrios had grown onto my small bowel and intestines. My bowel ended up torn during surgery and I had to have 3 inches of intestines taken out. The surgeon also told me that I had over 15 lbs. of tumors, cysts etc. and there was no way this doctor would not be able to tell I had had this problem. That is not to say that is your problem. It's to let you know it's better to have it checked just for your own piece of mind. As far as the IBS mine is mostly behind the naval and through the intestinal area. Please have it checked as today they can do wonders either by meds or by a laporoscopy.
Best Wishes To You!
Pat
