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.
Why is endometriosis commonly misdiagnosed?
The only definitive diagnosis of endometriosis is through surgery, so some doctors and most insurance companies try to rule out less expensive possibilities first. The symptoms of endo can vary so much between women that it can be difficult to know from the beginning what the symptoms are pointing to. The average length from onset of symptoms to official diagnosis is usually about ten years. although these statistics are improving.
Can you contract endometriosis while on the Depo-Provera?
No. Endometriosis is when endometrial tissue spreads outside the uterus and it causes great pain when the woman menstruates, as well as from inflammation in between periods from where the tissue seeded itself. Depo Provera stops endometrial cells from proliferating, so while a woman uses Depo Provera, she will have very little trouble with her endometriosis. Depo Provera stops periods, which is helpful in endometriosis.

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.
Can endometriosis make you feel ill?

Can birth control hide the symptoms of endometriosis?
Yes It can hide the signs. I know a few people that have endometriosis and they went on the pill so that they could stop some of the symptoms. A Personal response Well I was put on 'the pill' to help control my endometriosis. It provided a regular cycle and reduced the pain and illness I had every month. So in that sense, I guess yes it would hide the symptoms. So you should find the TCM therapy - fuyan pill to cure it thoroughly, and this pill is herbal, it can't bring any damage to your body. A laprocopy is what determined/diagnosed me as it shows all the scar tissue caused by endometriosis.
