How To Speed Up The Diagnosis Process?
Hi everyone! When I first got my period at 10 years old (10 years ago now), I had extreme pain and so went to my gynaecologist who suggested that it may be endometriosis, but due to how young I was decided against doing a laparoscopy. Over the years I have tried 3 different types of birth controls, many different pain killers, anti inflammatories, etc., and I recently had an IUD put in.

Have u tried changing your diet. Look up foods that cause inflammation. I’ve cut out a lot to try help with pain and passing clots. Foods u r cut out are. Red meat. All dairy. Gluten and eggs. And fatty foods. Boring diet 🤦🏼♀️. I drink pomegranate juice and have some grapes everyday as they meant have anti inflammatory in them. It seems to be helping up to now. X
I agree with dnotko too, It seems the only certain way to diagnose Endo. I needed 2 laparascopic surgeries to diagnose then remove adhesions/endometrioma. Also first I had a hysteroscopy-(They use a scope to check inside uterus for polyps/fibriods and remove those, not to be confused with hysterectomy) I had the hysteroscopy first b/c my cramps and bleeding were so bad, and that aleviated some of my issues. When more issues came up, thats when I had to have the 2 laparscopics, and those helped me the most.Birth Control pills then Mirena has helped to control cycles, and now I rarely have any periods..Miraculous!
Hope you feel better..:)
Defintiely look into laproscopic exciscion surgery.
