Hi there, I do believe that disordered proliferative endomertium is pretty much endometriosis. Being that endo is due to an abnormal/disorder(not during your proliferative stage of your cycle)- overgrowing (proliferative-increase in cells) of your endometrium. that is what I would conclude. I hope this at least helps a little for you to understand what at least is going on. Heat pads help. Or, at least they help numb the area a bit. I hope you feel better soon!
