Deep Endo Pain - Rectal Cream To Help?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi ladies,
I am suffering from deep endo, mostly in the Douglas pouch. This means bowel movements can be very painful, especially around my periods.
I am not a big fan of taking ibuprofen all the time (which thankfully works) and was wondering if any of you have tried more specific treatments - such as a rectal cream which can be used to apply right where the pain is? I have been told some suppositories can help too… any recommandations? Thanks a mill !

I also have issues with bowel movements. I take fiber supplements to help with that. I take metamucil with about triple the usual recommended dose per doctor recommendation. That could help. Another great idea is to take turmeric supplements/put it in food (I’ve been told with black pepper) as turmeric is actually a much better anti-inflammatory than Ibuprofen. Hope that can help a bit!
