Mirena Vs Visanne
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Since having my second child last year and having had now two csections my endo pain is awful and my periods are hell.

Is Endometriosis Genetic?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I havent been diagnosed with endo but i think i may have it. I get not like pains but more just the feeling that somethings there and when i cough whilst sitting up i get a shock of pain under my stomach. My mum was diagnoses with endometriosis and she recently got a hysterectomy so i was wondering if there is any chance i could have it? Im scared to go to check it out as the thought of someone just looking down there scares me for no apparent reason you know?
