Okay I am pretty new to this so I will just ask my question....Sometimes I have a Discharge that is very slimmy and stringy....I have been tested for STD's, and bacterial & Yeast infections all Negative...I have had real bad abdominal pains for the past several months, I am very tired all the time, When I go to the bathroom and try to push I get a really bad pain thats shoots straight up..This has only happened a couple of times....I have been diagnosed with endometriosis about 7 years ago. I had two kids and the oldest one is 3. I am going for my yearly pretty soon. Do my symtoms relate to anything in particular...Someone said to have test CA-125 done and see what it says..What do you think?

Hi There,
You need to see you doctor for a good physical exam, pap smear, and rectal exam. A CA 125 test would not be appropriate at this time.
best wishes
