To see whether your symptoms are caused by endometriosis, your doctor first will:
Talk to you about your family and medical history, symptoms, and menstrual periods.
Do a pelvic exam. This often includes checking both the vagina and rectum.
Your doctor may start a trial of treatment, to see if symptoms improve
If needed, a laparoscopy may be recommended to definitively diagnose endometriosis
What else can I help you with?
What kind of doctor to see about depth perception?
I would recommend an opthamologist as they deal with the anatomy, function, pathology, and treatment of the eye. For corrective glasses, see an optomotrist. See the related link for more information.
Do you need to see a doctor for a kidney infection?
Yes, it is recommended to see a doctor for a kidney infection. A doctor can confirm the diagnosis through tests and prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection. Untreated kidney infections can lead to complications, so seeking medical attention is important.
Why does periods last for a month or more?
Extended periods lasting for a month or more could be due to hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, or underlying health conditions like endometriosis or adenomyosis. It's important to see a healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
Can endometriosis lead to the formation of blood clots?
Endometriosis does not directly cause the formation of blood clots. However, some studies suggest that women with endometriosis may have a slightly higher risk of developing blood clots due to inflammation and hormonal changes associated with the condition. It is important for individuals with endometriosis to discuss any concerns about blood clot risk with their healthcare provider.
What kinds of tests do they do in an eye examination?
They will do a pressure test, which puffs air into your eye, which tests for glaucoma. They will also measure your eye, test for color blindness, and astigmatism. Other than that they will just test your vision, long range and short range.
What are the symptoms of endometriosis and who can see if I have it?
The best place to go to check for symptoms is your doctor. Call your doctor and ask them to schedule you an appointment. Describe your symptoms to them so they know how so to schedule the appointment.
Can you have endometriosis without heavy bleeding?
Yes. Heavy bleeding is just one of many signs or symptoms of endometriosis. Actually, many women with endometriosis have none of the usual symptoms and would never know it without an exploratory surgery (or if the doctor noticed it during caesarian delivery), because endometriosis doesn't appear on ultrasounds, blood tests, MRI, or XRay.

Are you pregnant if you have 3 negative tests?

Why do Doctors know so little about Endometriosis?
Doctors actually know a lot about endometriosis. A doctor can diagnose this very easy with just a small sample of tissue.
Why don't pregnancy tests work on me even when i actually was pregnant it came out negative.?
Pregenency tests are not always accurate. The best way to find out is by seeing a doctor, or a proffesional. If you suspect anything, see your doctor even if your tests come out negative.
Are pregnany tests accurate?
It depends on which product you are using. Different pregnancy tests have different answers. See a doctor if you are not sure which one to use.
What kind of genetic tests are available for prostate cancer?
There are no genetic tests to see if you have prostate cancer. It is possible to find out by going to a doctor and having other tests done, however.
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.
What does it mean if your semen is clear and yellowish green with rice like lumps in it and what kind of doctor would i see for that?
You can see your regular doctor or a urologist and take tests for STD and infection.
Are you bi-polar because loads of online tests say you are severely bi-polar?
No. Those online tests can be inaccurate. You should see a doctor.
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.
All of the tests i have taken say I'm severely depressed. What do I do?
Well, if you took those tests over the internet, then your next step is to go see a doctor to be officially diagnosed and be treated. If these tests were administered to you by a doctor, then that doctor should have taken action to help and if they did not then you need to go to a different doctor because the other obviously has a lack of common sense.
