A common symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the abdomen, lower back, and pelvic areas. The amount of pain a woman feels is not linked to how much endometriosis she has. Some women have no pain even though their disease affects large areas, or there is scarring. Some women, on the other hand, have severe pain even though they have only a few small areas of endometriosis.
General symptoms of endometriosis can include but are not limited to:
* Extremely painful or disabling menstrual cramps; pain may get worse over time
* Chronic pelvic pain includes lower back pain and pelvic pain.
* Pain during or after sex.
* Intestinal pain.
* Painful bowel movements or painful urination during menstrual periods.
* Heavy menstrual periods.
* Premenstrual spotting or bleeding between periods.
* Infertility not being able to get pregnant.
Women who have endometriosis may have gastrointestinal symptoms that are like those of a bowel disorder, as well as fatigue.
The only way to know for sure if you have endometriosis is to have a laparoscopy.
No one knows for sure what causes endo.
Treatment: Since we know that estrogen initiates endometrial cell proliferation and the formation of blood vessels accumulation in the endometrium, the aim of treatment is to block this monthly estrogen stimulus to the aberrant endometrial islets. Bioidentical Progesterone stops further proliferation of endometrial cells.

Did you know that there is an online group devoted to endometreosis. I think that it's one of the yahoo groups. And if i'm not mistaken, the only for sure way to diagnosis it is surgery. And the #1 symptom associated with it is pain! Pain with your period, constant or come and go pain, there are others but I can't remember them all. But I do know that pain is the most talked about. I hope you can find that group, I know that there are a lot of people there that can help answer your questions. I think it's called ERC

you have to have a laparoscopy. i have it. my regular doc sent me to a gastrointestinal doc and he said i had irritable bowel syndrome. the symptoms of endo are very much like it, but something still didn't seem right. my ob-gyn did an ultrasound and then the laparoscopy. the symptoms are heavy bleeding, abdominal pain that doesn't get better with remedy etc. it can not be prevented. right now i get an injection and am experiencing menopause. i am in my early 30s.

in no way peeing at weddings, even with the incontrovertible fact that they have got a tendency to throw me out each and every now and then for making sexual advances in direction of the bride. Anyhoo, my actual symptom is dipping hamsters and bunnies underwater to work out at what factor they improve gills. so a techniques, all of them's been failed experiments, even with the incontrovertible fact that I DID study that conserving lifeless rodents interior the refrigerator makes the fruitcake filled next to it somewhat too stinky for an relaxing intake. So what's the undertaking with me?
