Members shared their varied experiences with bowel and bladder specialists after laparoscopy revealed inflammation, with many describing how endometriosis sitting behind or near these organs caused bowel and bladder issues even when no endo was directly found on them. Several members recommended seeing gastroenterologists or colorectal surgeons for further evaluation, trying pelvic floor therapy for incontinence, and not dismissing ongoing symptoms even after being told organs are clear of endo. A recurring theme was the emotional challenge of managing multiple overlapping conditions alongside endometriosis and the importance of advocating for yourself when bowel or bladder problems persist.
