In my opinion the answer is no. I have endometriosis and part of the problem with taking Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) is that you have to take them before you get the pain, so in order for them to have the full affect you need to be psychic. They should be taken 24 hours before you generally have you worst pain (ovulation, menstuation). Now if you are lucky (unlucky enough depending on your perspective) to have a regular cycle thats not too bad other than remembering to take them while you may have minimal symptoms, however if you have irregular perios you may have to take them for a week or more in anticipation of the bad days. This means with endo if you experience your really bad pain at ovulation and menstruation you could be taking ulcer causing, stomach destroying painkillers for 3 weeks of the month. Not the best.

Can Naproxen cause heartburn if taken at night?
Naproxen is a member of a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. This drug, like others in its class is used to treat pain, inflammation and fever. NSAIDs like naproxen work by reducing postglandin levels in the body. Postglandins are chemicals that cause the fever, discomfort and inflammation. While this drug can be quite effective for this purpose, there is a connection between naproxen and heartburn.
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?
