What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

I often take pain within my abdomen on the 2nd and 3rd daylight of my period, making my belly feel immense. It is somtimes uncomfortable going to the bathroom during this time. I complain to my doctor, but he tell me that its normal. Is at hand a test that i can ask my doctor for to detect it, if it is endo?

The hallmark symptom most associated beside Endo is pelvic pain at any point in the cycle. However, some women don't even realize that they enjoy the disease until it is diagnosed as part of an infertility work-up (Endo is one of the main causes of womanly primary and secondary infertility). Pain that interupts your existence is never normal and is your body's track of giving you a sign that something is wrong.

Endo can only be diagnosed surgically through the laparoscopy or laparotomy, but it can be suspected base on symptoms, family history, etc.

There is no TRUE cure, but there are treatments than can aid. I suggest reading http://www.endocenter.org/pdf/2007screen... and using the interactive tools there to enjoy a discussion with your doctor in the order of the next step. There is a symptom checklist and a headache journal which can be remarkably helpful; if he won't give somebody a lift your pain and symptoms seriously, find another doctor who will.

Endometriosis affects over 70 million women and girls around the world and is the foremost cause of pelvic headache; pain is never usual and deserves to be addressed appropriately by your healthcare provider.

There are heaps symptoms for endometriosis and they are as individual as each women that have the disease. One person may experience severe symptoms and own hardly any lesion at all and another woman may not suffer from just any symptoms and have stage IV endo.

The most adjectives symtpoms are:
Pain before and during period
Pain with intercourse
General, chronic pelvic discomfort throughout the month
Low back twinge
Heavy and/or irregular periods
Painful bowel movements, especially during menstruation
Painful urination during menstruation
Fatigue
Infertility
tender periods
sensitive sex
irritability
depression
fatigue
nausea/dizziness
diarrhea/constipation

I often feel as if I was carrying a bowling bowl in my lower tummy. My Gyn often told me that it be "in my head" or "division of being a woman". I refuse to accept that answer. I go to another Gyn and was diagnosed beside Stafe IV endo at the age of 23.

The only 100% track to know whether or not you have endometriois is through a highly simple surgical procedure called a laparoscopy. Until you own that procedure done, all you (and your doctor) can do is speculate.

If your doctor refuse to do this procedure or you don't feel comfortable have him/her doing it, find another doctor. It will save you abundantly of time, pain and hopefully your fertility.

Keep contained by mind, there is no means of access to cure endo, but there are ways to oversee it and live with it.

Hope this help. Sending pain free vibes your style.
