If so, do you think 1 condition can flare up the other and ideas of causes and/or best ways to manage flare-ups and symptoms?
I have both. And yes I do believe the flare ups overlap/combine.
I just had sex for the third time ever but for the second and third time, I felt a sharp pain shoot from my butt and lower back. I didn’t feel the pain in my lower abdomen though. The pain was worse off when doing the doggy style. Is this normal during the first times you have sex or I actually have endometriosis.
I have had a laparoscopy and I feel the same way. Doggy Style is a hell no because it hurts so badly. The only way I can do it without pain is on my back and I have to take it slow at first no matter… read more
I have almost every symptom of endometriosis. Painful cramps (on and off my period) since before I even started my period at age 11. When I was younger I went to a couple different doctors and they tried to downplay my pain and told me it’s normal and I need to get used to it. I only had one doctor that did diagnose me with PCOS based on hormone levels but never did any imaging. As an adult I have gone to two different Gynos and one told me I “probably” have it and did a vaginal ultrasound. He… read more

I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis 2 weeks ago after years of symptoms I figured were normal. The doctor removed what she could. I've had no pain for 2 weeks until this morning. At my post op appointment today my doctor said she wants to do the depo lupron shots to try to stop the endometriosis from cominh back. I'm seriously skeptical about this course of treatment. Has anyone gone this route and had success?
I did it for like a year and loved how I wasn't in pain. However, I wasn't prepared for the hot flashes and hormones that came crashing through my body. But overall, it did very well with me compared… read more
For me i get hot flashes off and on from my endometriosis.
It made me condition pretty much the same and worst at times.
I was just wondering how everyone was examined to see whether or not you have endo?
Because How can you have a Pap smear or vaginal exam if it's so unbearably painful for you ? I went to a gyno and they kept saying the only way to tell was through that kind of exam . Is that true ? Is there a way that they can do an ultrasound to find the lesions ? Can they put you to sleep during your vaginal exam ? Because it caused me so much pain to the point of almost passing out......
A blood test is being developed outside that US, that will hopefully bring a less invasive option to testing for Endo
Fingers crossed it comes soon- these laparoscopic surgery inst always the best… read more
Hiya,
Could you please give me your honest advice/thoughts? Currently at the end of my tether and don't know who else to turn to.
Since I was 14 (now almost 26) I have seen various different doctors and a gynaecologist being told all sorts of different things but all of them have said they suspect I have endometriosis. With my current doctor she is the best one I have seen to date and is really clued up on the disease and says she is 100% sure I have it and all my symptoms match, there's… read more
Thanks ladies for your help. I have an appointment on Saturday morning with a different doctor and I'm going to request a referral to a gynae.
