Endometriosis Support Group

Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

I am new to this site. I have not been diagnosed with endo but I have alot of the symptoms and have questions for you that have been diagnosed. I was wondering if you can tell me if any of these symptoms apply to you. I have pain under my right ribs sometimes radiating to my back along with ovarian pain. Sometimes I feel like my ovaries are huge. I spot with bowel movements about 1 week prior to starting my period. It also hurts during menestration to pass bowels. My pain is getting worse. I also seem to feel worse when I have just eaten like my stomach is putting pressure on something. I have alot of muscle spasms in my abdomen also.

Thank you monks for responding to my post. I often feel that this can't be endometriosis for as bad as this hurts. I have not seen a dr because I guess I am scarred.

I got and still get ovarian pain. I'm thinking of having my gyn remove the right ovary and tie my tubes. You really should talk to a doc or three about your sypmtoms. Find one that is willing to find the cause of the pain and the best way to treat it.
You can either suffer in pain or see a doc. Hopefully, it'll be something simple.

I have had a firm diagnosis of Endo through laporoscopy's a surgical procedure that looks inside. I am sorry but all your symptoms are the same as mine, but there could be another cause for your symptoms such as Chron's disease or celiac disease. But to get any of this confirmed you need to see a doctor to rule any of this out. It is important to see the medical profession as all this needs to be seen early, but unfortunately if it is Endo you need to see a specialist in Endo as not a lot is known about it and you can be mistreated by your doctor unbeknowingly. The reason for this is they treat the problem as Gynaecological which is correct but because endo grows in other organs such as your bowel and bladder etc. The normal Gynae's are not trained to know these areas and may surpass some of your symptoms. I hope all goes well for you hun, any questions or problems don't hesitate to ask.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
