Only mild pain, could it be endometriosis?
I have been having mild to medium pain for the past 4 months or so and after being to the Gyno, I was told I could have endometriosis. After doing some research, most women experience severe pain and discomfort, however mine is not severe. Has anyone else experienced mild stabbing or burning pains and as a result been positive for endometriosis? I need surgery but want to know as much as I can first.
You could have endo for a long time without even having pain except during your period. I didn't know I had it (and hadn't even heard of it) until having to have emergency laparoscopic surgery for a tubal pregnancy 6 yrs ago. A couple yrs ago I started having various abdominal pain that just kept getting worse. Thankfully I knew what it was, but finding a dr who believed me was almost impossible. Taking gluten, dairy and caffeine out of my diet helped a lot for a bit, but mine was so advanced that when I finally found a knowledgeable dr I had to have surgery within a couple of wks. I suggest researching all you can on your symptoms and read blogs of others with the same issues.
