Physical Therapy
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone been told by a gynecologist prior to being diagnosed with endometriosis to try and go to physical therapy for the pelvic floor ?

Yeah this will be my 6th session and I have noticed that as well. Although I know the physical therapist has said each time there are knots and inflimation . I just wish that I could already be diagnosed and then move forward because it is so much work and money to try and see different doctors and take time off work .

I have been recommended to a pelvic floor therapist just recently but I have been diagnosed and had a surgery to remove once so I guess it depends on your doctor? I do know that I must see a floor therapist now and I had to exhaust all my options to chemically control it (birth control, visanne, IUD)

They told me they would not do the surgery unless I completed this first. And I have had a second opinion. I feel like it's never ending just getting the run around .

I was told to try physical therapy before my surgery and I told them I was in too much pain and needed to know for sure. The doctor agreed to the surgery and had to burn some of the spots. I was pain free for about 6 months.
