Surgery is required to make an accurate diagnosis of Endometriosis. It can be diagnosed and treated (surgically removed) at the same time. Your doctor has to tell you what was found during the surgery and what was done to remove or otherwise treat it. Before considering surgery, however, you will want to be sure that the doctor you have chosen has experience in the successful removal - i.e., excision, not vaporization - of the disease and won't just look in and close you back up with disease intact. See http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EndoDocs for referrals to good Endo docs who might be able to help. Good luck and feel better.

Hey I was once identified with endo @ 15 and was once in a timely fashion referred for a laproscopy (a surgical approach in which they make an incision on your navel and location a tiny digicam within to have a squiz approximately your ovaries and many others to seem for any endo - it appears gross like little cysts) and in case you do have any they'll then make a different incision both part of your navel for his or her scalpels and tongs after which actually "slice" off the endo. The operation is particularly painless even though u do think just a little gentle circular the stomach for a well month. The operation has an eighty five% good fortune cost (which means that for eighty five% of endo patients it'll not ever develop again). Being at the capsule additionally is helping to sluggish down the development of endometriosis. Talk in your GP approximately it however I could strongly advocate it - its transformed my lifestyles :-)

A gynocologist may suggest you have endometriosis. Finally my doctor, after going to them for a while, ordered a surgery to "explore." They do this through your belly button and leaves little to no scar and easily you can recover from it. They did find black spots on my uterus that said it was endometriosis. They removed the spots while they were inside. They can come back. I still have trouble with pain and heavy bleeding and clotting. Maybe you should see an OB/GYN and talk about maybe having the surgery to see what the problem is. ER doctors just do a pap smear on you, and maybe a few other tests, but your OB/GYN will talk more extensively with you.

I'd go to an OBGYN and explain to them all the symptoms you have experienced and how often. ER doctors are great for sewing on a torn off arm but they may be in such a hurry that they may miss something like this. I'd make an appointment with my OBGYN and have a sit down chat with them and make them address your concerns about what's going on.

the only way to diagnose endometriosis is through a laparoscopy. One way to test it if you don't want to pay at least $6,000 for the surgery is to take a BCP. If your symptoms get better, it just might confirm the suspicion.

Maybe you should schedule a physical with your gynecologist instead of the ER. They have the expertise and equipment to diagnose women's health problems better than the ER.
