Your mother or sister has or had endometriosis. This makes it more likely you will have severe symptoms. This risk seems to be passed on by the mother. Your menstrual cycles are less than 28 days. Your menstrual flow is longer than 7 days. You started menstruation before age 12. You have never been pregnant. Your uterus, cervix, or vagina has an abnormal shape that blocks or slows menstrual flow.

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 :)
