Could I have endometriosis?

Question

I've recently had a lot of issues with my health. My period has been all over the place, very heavy flow and bad cramps. I've been so emotional over the last few months I can't stop crying. I'm having trouble sleeping at night and having night sweats. My skin is breaking out, I've got memory fog and a sore place in my tummy that makes me feel sick if I touch it. Had blood tests and just waiting for an ultrasound. Could this be endometriosis?

Answer

Endometriosis can only be ruled out with laparoscopy surgery. I have endo and I've had surgery 6 times for if. Your symptoms are very similar to mine. I'm not sure if you're sexually active, but if you are it'll hurt to have intercourse. That was the big symptom I got that was so painful. The ultrasound will be able to rule out if you have an ovarian cyst or not though. Good luck and hope you don't have endo!

Answer

Endometriosis is not detectable with an ultrasound. I have it. As far as I know there are no studies done correlating endo with heightened pms symptoms. It's most common symptom is intense pain and passing blood clots when menstruating. Ask you doctor, but don't worry too much right now.
