Should I mention to my doctor?
Within the past six months I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Three weeks ago I had a cyst rupture. Every time I have had an ultrasound at the gynecologist I have cysts on my ovaries. My most recent symptom is painful sex. Even with foreplay and lube it has still been painful lately. This led me to do some research and I am across endometriosis. When I began reading symptoms it sounds exactly like things I’ve experienced that I have blown off as nothing.
Diarrhea/constipation I blamed on my medications and hereditary IBS.
Heavy periods I just thought were normal for me… I would fill an ultra tampon in 2 hours or less on my heaviest day.
Unbearable cramps that were not relieved by Tylenol, ibuprofen, or a heating pad that went from my lower abdomen, lower back, and legs.
Pain after sex that I just thought was due to my fiancé finishing in me.
Painful urination which I thought was due to not drinking enough water and too much soda.
Long story short, I have most if not all of the symptoms of endometriosis and was wandering if this would be something I should mention when I see my gynecologist again in two weeks?
