As far as I'm aware, it's possible. You would usually have excruciatingly bad period pain if this is the case.
It is however normal to have bad period pain in your teens though (I did) and it does ease off as you get older so try not to worry yourself. :o)

If you are a 65 year old woman with endometriosis what is the best treatment plan and what side effects does it entitle?
If the woman is 65, she has had endometriosis for decades. At 65, she would be post menopausal. Endometriosis symptoms flare up with normal monthly cycles in women. If she no longer has normal cycles - and at 65 she shouldn't - why do anything at all? The time to treat endometriosis has passed by that age.

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.
Do you have periods if you have endometriosis?
All women are different. Some women with endometriosis will not have regular periods. However, there are also women with endometriosis that either have irregular periods, or even those that have very regular periods. If you think you may have endometriosis, see your OB GYN.
Does age affect the severity of endometriosis?
Your risk of endometriosis is higher if: You are between puberty and menopause (around age 50). After estrogen levels drop at menopause, your risk disappears. 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.

What should you do if you begged for a hysterectomy believing it will really help your endometriosis but doctors refuse it because of your young age?
Find a new provider. Many physicians assume that all women want more children (or any at all) and worry that they will regret having a hysterectomy at such a young age. Look for a gynecologist who specializes in endometriosis and might be more sympathetic to the agony of your endo pain.
Can Endometriosis affect teens?
