Re: painful periods..PLEASE HELP!!!From: AJ (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 27 Aug 2001 11:57:32 -0500 (CDT)
Amber, Hello! i'm sorry to hear about all of your problems. You may be right in thinking that you have endometriosis. I have it and what you are describing, painful periods, low back pain, passing clots, are all symptoms of endo. Others include painful bowel movements w periods or w/o, painful intercourse, nausea, diarhea, constipation, infertility,miscarriages (I've also had 4 miscarriages) ,chronic or intermittent pelvic pain, leg pain, abdominal cramping, and many other symptoms. Keep in mind, that you don't have to have all of these symptoms. Some women with endo have no symptoms at all. I would most definately recommend getting the lap. I know it's scary, but its really not as bad as you think it is. Also, when you do get your lap, ask the surgeon if they are going to remove the endo if they find any. Also, if you wish to keep your ovaries, or any other organs, be sure to let the surgeon know you wishes. If you would like more info on endometriosis, I have a list of websites. If you would like it, just email me and let me know. Also if you need anything else, feel free to email me. I'm 22 and know how scary it can be going through all of this. I wish you the best :) Take Care and God Bless, AJ
