Yes. In endometriosis the tissue begins to grow in places outside, as well as inside, the uterus. When the tissue begins to slough off during the monthly cycle it can cause pain or discomfort wherever it is located. Over time the length of pain tends to increase and can last for weeks.

Irritatingly, yes, you can. I do and have for years. It's quite tiring. Bleeding between periods is another horrible thing about endometriosis. It can cause all sorts of pains, at any time. Sorry *Sadface*

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.

What Is endometriosis-?

Endometrial tissue lines the uterus. Each month, in tune with the menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue thickens and is shed during menstruation. If you have endometriosis, it means that the same kind of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing in other parts of your body, usually in the abdomen. This can cause scar tissue to build up around your organs. Endometriosis may cause severe pain and abnormal bleeding, usually around the time of your period. Pain during intercourse is another common symptom. However, it is possible to have endometriosis and not have any symptoms. Endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility(inability to get pregnant). Often it is not diagnosed until a woman has trouble getting pregnant.

How painful is endometriosis?

The level of pain varies among women, and surpisingly enough, is not necessarily related to how bad the endo is (i.e. the extent or size of the growths). The pain can be described as "killer cramps" during your period, or it can be completely disabling 24/7 and cause fainting or vomiting. Treatment options include pain relievers, hormones, herbal medicine of Fuyan Pill and surgery. Please get in touch with the Endometriosis Assocation at endometriosisassn.org or take a look at the book, Endometriosis, by Mary Lou Ballweg for more information.


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.


Could you have endometriosis if you already have a child?

Yes. Having a child does not protect you from endometriosis. While having endometriosis often makes becoming pregnant difficult for women, becoming pregnant will also reduce the symptoms of endometriosis. So, being diagnosed with endometriosis after having a child makes it rather difficult for your doctor to determine whether you had endometriosis prior to the pregnancy or if it became an issue post-pregnancy - especially if you were positively diagnosed with endometriosis shortly after giving birth.
