Little back story first, I have been diagnosed with endometriosis for about 4 years after a laparoscopic surgery to remove a cyst. My OB says it's pretty severe endo and has had me try the pill and depo provera both of which I hated and stopped taking. It makes me very out of sorts and I feel like right now I finally feel myself even if there is painful days. Anyway about 8 months ago I started noticing blood in my urine when I was not on my period. I had a cystoscopy to look inside my bladder… read more
I ended up getting a CT scan which reveled an 8mm stone in my left kidney. I was given the option of surgically removing the stone and went that route because the chances of passing a stone that large were only about 30% and didn't sound fun anyway!
Thank you for this information because this is something I will watch out for in the future. I know my endo is severe and I often worry about it harming the organs that it attaches to. I have a feeling the reason I got a stone is because of chronic dehydration caused by the digestive issues I get from endometriosis.
You should research endometriosis of the ureter and kidney. A symptom of that is blood in the urine. I know it's expensive but definitely worth it. Left untreated the endo can actually lead to renal failure. I hope that's not the case but probably a good thing to rule out. Let me know what happens. Best of luck and stay strong! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC35...
