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
For me i get hot flashes off and on from my endometriosis.
So my Endo is growing back because I cannot take my birth control. It caused a blood clot in my leg and pulmonary embolisms in my lung. Today is six months from my pe and DVT. Anyone have suggestions for endovrelief?!
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member I am a DVT survivor, I got diagnosed with endo recently and I will have to have a lap soon because of a cyst.
I am wondering what your doctors suggested.
Please help! I am at my witts end w my weight situation. I have gained 40lbs in the last 5 years since I started battling endo
I watch what I eat (no sugar, or flour, and I’m counting calories again 🤦🏻♀️), I drink nothing but water; I’m an active person. I’ve done running, lifting, HIIT, T25, some stretching and NOTHING seems to help. I will lose 2-3lbs and then just like that they are back again, and to boot I have this awful mommy pooch I’ve developed that I’ve never had before! It just… read more
Thanks! Yes, I follow an anti-inflammatory diet as well just to try and prevent any further pain/discomfort. I had a nutrionist once before but they were not familiar with hormonal issues and… read more
It has stopped my periods too, Dr just say not to rely on it as a contraceptive. It’s a small chance, but enough they have to warn you. But if you’re ok with the remote chance of getting pregnant then… read more
Is anyone not on any type of hormonal treatment? (Birth control , etc) How is it for you? Doctors seem to scare people and tell them that their endometriosis will grow if they don’t take birth control pills. Is this true? Are you obligated to be on hormones with endo? I know endometriosis isn’t progressive for everyone but I’m also scared that having periods will damage me in the long run. My endometriosis is mild and doesnt seem to give me a lot of problems except for some mild occasional… read more
Someone can have mild symptoms of endo and have severe endometriosis while others have lots of pain as well as other symptoms and have mild endometriosis. The only sure way to know the severity is… read more
I only have endo pain when i am not on birth control pills. Also I have never been able to have sex because the pain is too excruciating for me. Im not sure if that will help to answer the question but i tried :p
Absolutely I had very mild pain while on birth control. The excruciating pain honestly didn't start until right before I got my tubes tied. They found my Endo then and when burnt off and was pain free… read more
Not every day,but most of the week i wake up several times during the night/morning soaked in sweat. I mean my hair,clothes everything are soaked and my room is freezing?!?!? Its the most horrible feeling. My doctors don't know what's causing it. I read online it could be hormonal problems. Just hoping maybe someone else experienced it so i can make some sense to my doctor.
I think in your case it’s hormones. For me I have that when I ate sugar the day before weird ha😅
