Looking for answers...
hey! My name is Jess I’m 21 years old. I was told a year ago I may have endometriosis. My ob wants me to get a lap done and I’ve been procrastinating on it bc I’m terrified of surgery... but of course I’ve been having chronic pelvic pain for the past 2 years. It hasn’t all been that bad, only when it gets about a week or two close to my monthly it flares up. My question is about the symptoms. I also have health anxiety and it’s one hell of a ride to have that on top of endo! But I’m always afraid my pain is from something that the docs may have missed. Since I don’t have a 100 percent answer.... I worry a lot.. but I have been to 3 different doctors and 2 told me they don’t know what it could be from but one ob highly believes it’s endo. My mom also has a very mild case and she’s 49! She never knew she had it, the doctors found it while they were taking out her tumors that were on her ovary. So I don’t doubt that I have it. I just wanted some other people’s opinion to see if they have the same symptoms or at least similar. I kno endo comes with pelvic pain butbthey never describe the pain. Mine is typically there all the time, once in a while i won’t feel anything. The pain usually stays at a 3 trough the month up until a week or two weeks before my period is due, it shoots up to about 6-7 range. My pain is not sharp. After this month I can tell my pain is due to inflammation. It’s more towards my left side in the middle of my lower abdomen. This month I have felt it pulsing... which I know it’s inflamed. It also only hurts when I press on it. It’s like an inflammation pain.. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Please let me know! Thank you ❤️
