Yes, pelvic pain after urinating is experienced by many people with endometriosis. This can happen for a few different reasons related to how endometriosis affects the urinary system.
Some members on MyEndometriosisTeam have shared similar experiences. One member described having "pelvic pain and was peeing frequently," which turned out to be related to interstitial cystitis, a condition more common in people with endometriosis.
The pain you're experiencing could be related to:
* Bladder endometriosis - where endometrial-like tissue affects the bladder, causing pain or spasms as the bladder fills or empties
* Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome - which causes bladder inflammation and pelvic pain that can feel like a UTI but isn't caused by infection
* Endometrial lesions on or near the bladder that respond to hormonal changes during your cycle
The pain may worsen around your period since endometriosis tissue responds to hormonal changes, but some people experience constant symptoms.
It's important to speak with your doctor about these urinary symptoms, especially since they can indicate different types of bladder involvement with endometriosis. Your healthcare team can help determine the cause and find appropriate treatment options to manage your symptoms.

I do and did and that’s where they found a lot of endo. ALS bladder pressure as a whole is uncomfortable for my pelvis
