I completely agree that it's a misconception. It's just annoying that the consultants then tend to lean more towards that, rather than listen to their patient and follow medical notes

If they can't see it on a ultrasound y do they send us for the stupid tests shotty doctors :(

I think it is a misconception. True, some women have such severe endo on a place near the uterus that it is visible. But I have had multiple ultra sounds, an MRI and bloodwork done, they all said no endo. But because my pain was excruciating they decided to do a lap. And ofcourse they found endo. It was small, so it couldn't been seen on anything.....

My consultant ordered a MRI and it showed nothing. He then didn't think it was that bad and even told me my problematic bladder was because I gas hysterectomy.
I had surgery last week, it was all on my left, in and around my bladder, I was in surgery 2 hours, had 3 key hole cuts and a actual cut, I also have a stent.
