Treatment for endometriosis is usually with medications or surgery. Birth Control hormones (patch, pills, or ring) or anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) medicines are the most common medications to relieve pain caused by endometriosis. You may ask your doctor for a different drug since there are many choices out there if you do not like the side effects. If you start taking the NSAIDS as soon as you know your period is going to begin, you may get ahead of the pain. You can also try using a heating pad. Another help is to go for a walk or do other exercise, which sounds counterproductive, but it does relieve spasms.
As we all know, surgery cause early menopause if you have your ovaries removed at the same time. There is also a less invasive procedure to remove the endometrial issues that has worked for some people, particularly if you would like to become pregnant again. Having had the full hysterectomy surgery, it made a huge difference in my quality of life and I am healthier for taking the step. If you do have endometriosis and do not want a recurrence, consider having both ovaries removed. HRT, hormone replacement therapy, in light doses, can be helpful in keeping up vaginal and bone health as well as keeping hot flashes at bay.
Herbal medicine like Fuyan Pill is an alternative medicine to treat endometriosis. In China, endometriosis is called neiyi, meaning internal lump. Lumps, adhesion and tubal blockage caused by endometriosis can make women lose their reproductive ability, called infertility in medical terms. From the TCM point of view, these are mainly caused by heat gathering.

Stress can cause a person to miss a period, as well as your weight can affect your cycle. In more serious cases of missed periods, it could be PCOS, which is what I have, or Endometriosis. There are many factors as to why some women don't a period every month, missing one isn't a big deal. But if a person misses several, I would recommend seeing a doctor to make sure something more serious isn't going on.
No it is fine to only get your period every few months. It is normal everybody is different it depends on your genes. If you have a problem you should go see your doctor but any other way it's NORMAL.
No. Scar tissue can result from a myriad of causes, including surgery to treat endometriosis. The tissue in endo adhesions resembles the endometrium, the lining of the uterus that sheds and causes bleeding every month, and responds to the same hormones as the endometrium, usually causing an increase in pain during a woman's period.
I am pretty sure it's every 6 months but sometimes they can skip one.
Check every 6-8 months.
It can if it is irregular, but for many it will stay relatively the same.
Endometriosis can cause you to feel nauseous and bring on vomiting or diarrhea. It is different for every woman. So if you suspect you may have endometriosis, visit your OB GYN with your concerns so that she may help you find an appropriate treatment for your specific case.
