endo without the pain?

[cmorse07]

I was diagnosed with stage 2 or 3 endo last year when I had my tubes tied. I never really had any painfull periods. Uncomfortable yes painful no. They were heavy and always at least a full week. This happen to anyone else? Endo diagnosis without painful periods?

I was diagnosed two years ago with stage 4 endometriosis and I had no symptoms at all. I was only 19 at the time and I still have very few  symptoms aside from pain during sex. I guess it just depends on where its concentrated and how severe it is.

Hi there,
I was diagnosed with stage 2/3 endo early this year. I did not have heavy or painful periods but I had excruciating pain during sex for about 18 months before my diagnosis. It took ages for anyone to diagnose me because I didn't have the 'regular' symptoms of endo such as painful and heavy periods. All my scans and ultrasounds showed up as normal and the only way to see if I did have endo was by having laparoscopy surgery. Turned out I had very severe endo. I would try and find an endo specialist as they look 'outside the box'.

hope this helps

Hi,
Although pain is the predominant feature of endometriosis, heavy periods and excessive blood loss during menses and infertility can be the other presentation. Stage 2 or 3 endometriosis will require aggressive treatment. Consult your gynaecologist.
Hope this helps.
