If you have endometriosis and have just miscarried at seven-and-a-half weeks should you get a DNC done to make sure it does not cause any problems?

D & C stands for Dilatation and Curettage, which is a dilation of the cervix and cleaning out of the uterus. Most miscarriages do not need a D & C done afterwards, and having endometriosis has nothing to do with it. You only need a D & C after a miscarriage if you continue to bleed or cramp, indicating there is still part of the pregnancy that needs to be removed.
I am very sorry for your loss, but don't give up hope! Endrometriosis is common and I've had it (very badly in my 30s) and found out it left scarring. It would be wise to have your doctor send you to a specialist. Scarring can be removed if the specialist feels this is what is needed so you can get pregnant.

Does endometriosis smell?
Endometriosis does not necessarily have an odor, or at least not one that you would be able to detect, since endometriosis is inside of you. If you are experiencing vaginal odor, it is most likely not endometriosis, and you should visit your OB GYN with your concerns.

What should you do if every doctor you have seen thus far for endometriosis treats you as a drug seeker?
Find a physician that specializes in endometriosis or chronic pain. They might have alternatives to offer other than pain medication, and at the very least should understand that endometriosis is a painful condition and that patients are not enduring treatment just to have access to narcotics.

Can you die from Endometriosis?
I have had Endometriosis for 6 years. And I have had 5 surgeries in relation to it. While Endometriosis is not a fatal disease, there are risks to your life with any surgery. A number of things can go wrong while on the operating table. The risks are greater if they have to fully open you up then if you have a laproscopic procedure done. I have had both which is how I know the answer to this. Before having any kind of operation done you have to sign many forms and your doctor should inform you that there are risks to any surgery, including one done for Endometriosis.
How old can you be to get endometriosis?
I'm pretty certain any female who has their period can get endometriosis. "Endometriosis can affect any woman, from premenarche to postmenopause, regardless of her race or ethnicity or whether or not she has had children" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis) If you do think you have it, go see your doctor and they might be able to help you find ways to treat it without having to go to a gynocologist (if you feel you are too young). I think I may have endometriosis , but I'm waiting til I'm 18 to see the gyno so I can work up the courage! But definitely go to the doctor if you have period pain, because they should be able to help with the pain a little bit, if not completely :)
What if you don't know you miscarried should you see a doctor anyway?
Yes you should definitely see a doctor because the miscarriage may not be complete. When this occurs, there is a risk of serious infection.
What do you do if one doctor says you've miscarried but the other doctor says you haven't?
Ask either one of them for a scan - which you should have in either case.
How likely is it for an 18 year old to have endometriosis?
Endometriosis has been diagnosed in girls as young as 8! So yes, an 18-year-old can have endo. In the past, doctors were taught that only career women got endo. It is important to find the right doctor. The Endometriosis Association can help. Their website is EndometriosisAssn.org. They have materials for teens. There is also information in the book by Mary Lou Ballweg, Endometriosis: The Complete Reference for Taking Charge of Your Health.Girls and women need to know that "killer cramps" are NOT normal and that endo should be considered if they persist.
