Hey there!

Here is some info I found when researching stage 4 endo. I am 19 and was diagnosed with endo 2 months ago however, my gyno told me I had stage 4 or 5! Don't know if we have a different staging system here in Australia or whether it was really really bad! Hope this helps. The web address I have given you below shows sketches of what mild to severe endo may look like in your pelvic area. Is very informative.

Endometriosis is categorized and diagnosed in four stages based on location(s) affected: Stage I, or minimal, disease (superficial endometriosis, filmy adhesions); Stage II, or mild, disease (superficial and deep endometriosis, filmy adhesions); Stage III, or moderate, disease (superficial and deep endometriosis, filmy and dense adhesions) and Stage IV, or severe, disease (superficial and deep endometriosis, dense adhesions). Even though the stages may seem similar, the sizes and number of areas diseased indicate diagnosis. (Breitkopf and Bakoulis, 59)

Take a look at this web site.
