I had endo surgery back in May 2015 but I've notice my bladder is becoming weaker. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes-After my laps I found that it initially felt like I had a UTI. I was examined and tested for IC, which came back negative and eventually through pelvic floor PT and time it subsided. I still have to pee every 5 minutes, but that's been lifelong....hoping you find relief!

Pelvic Floor Therapy might help you if you can find a physical therapist who does this. My ob/gyn recommended one to me and it has helped.

My bladder issues will likely never end. Endo has done permanent damage. Mine has been excised off my bladder but I still have issues.

Definitely. I've had bladder issues like that since they lasered endo off my bladder three times.

Yes, I have to pee all the time. Not sure if it's due to the endo or possibly IC, but I do think that the two are related conditions for some people. I've had some really bad flare ups of what my doc and I think is IC over the past few years. She is hesitant to do the official test for IC because it can actually make things worse. The good news is that persistence with diet, rest, herbs (gotu kola is great for IC) and time and I am back to normal. Normal for me is peeing fairly frequently but without the intense pain and pressure in my bladder and peeing every 5 minutes! What a nightmare. I hope you are able to feel better!
