I am a 26 yr old women who just had my left ovary and fallopian tube removed! When the doctor took it out she said it should have been done years ago she said she did not want to take the right one if we didn’t have to because I am so young. That was 3 weeks ago today and the pain on the right side it so bad that I know I have to call and go back. I always knew that I wanted to adopt but the realization that I may never be able to have children is terrifying to me. I suffer from depression and anxiety to begin with and I just don’t know how do process and deal with this. Published: July 16 ::

I have had two surgeries within 2 years apart due to endometriosis and it seems to keep coming back. My symptoms were chronic pain in my stomach, irregular menstruation periods, pain after sex, the feeling of vomiting everything I eat. It is a pain that I can no longer bare. There are days where I am stuck in a bent over position because the pain is so bad that I cannot stand straight up or walk for that matter. Published: July 16 ::

I experience the worst pain during and after intimacy the pain is sharp and deep I can feel it in my abdomen in my lower back and sometimes in my rectum. From there the pain shoots up and I can not walk I end of in the fetal position for hours until the pain subsides enough for me to move. I have had a fibroid removed 8 months ago and these pains have gotten worse since. I am in the process of speaking with my Doctor about my options. I am 30 years old and this is affecting my love live I have to avoid or turn down sex in fear of the onset of pain that will follow if I do engage myself. Published: June 27 ::

I am 23 years old and have always had excruciating periods. I usually am incapacitated for the first 3 days of my period and bleed heavily. In between periods, it's lots of lower back pain and some cramping. My doctor's have put me on so many birth controls that my body is so messed up and the cramps are still unbearable. They finally referred me to a specialist and I'm really afraid that it's endometriosis. I really want children someday and it scares me to think I may be infertile and if this is the cause of my pain. Published: July 18 ::

I cough up blood too, can you tell me if you have heard of endometriosis on the liver and if you have heard of any thing that would help. Published: July 14 ::

I always had really bad periods, heavy and painful even as an adolescent. Everyone told me that it was just nature and nothing to be concerned with---be tough was the message. I lived with endometriosis until I was 45 years old. The pain I had was excruciating in my pelvis area and bleeding non-stop. I also became unable to bend and move very well. It turned out that I had Stage IV endometriosis--uterus, tubes, ovaries and appendix removed. Also, my ureter was resectioned and implants removed from my small intestine. It's been a year and a half and I have no symptoms at all. I guess it wasn't "all in my head"! Have any of you heard this from others? Published: July 14 ::

At the age of 14, I awoke being hunched over and in great pain. I was rushed the to the hospital and later found out that I had cysts in both ovaries, as the years passed, I had 3 ultrasounds, the first showing I had cysts in both ovaries, the second showing I had cysts in only my right ovary, I am now 18 and received my last ultrasound a few days ago and it showed I was free of any cysts, but why was I still having extreme sharp pains in my right ovary? My doctor says it could be endometriosis. This would explain a lot: my lower back pain, the feeling of IBS, the stabbing pains around my cycles, and the stinging when I urinate. It has been 4 years of pain, I hope it gets better. Published: July 10 ::

My symptoms actually started with constipation. I was getting constipated all of the time and the medicines weren't working. I was sent to a gastrologist and had some procedures done. They found nothing. At this point my lower stomach started hurting so much that I couldn't run, jump, anything extra. It even hurt to just sit. I also could not stand to have anything touch my stomach. I was always pulling my pants or underwear away from me. It was worse than when I was pregnant. Finally my doctor said I should see my OBGYN. He knew it was endometriosis. I had the surgery and was fine afterward. All of the symptoms ended. It has been about two years and I'm getting the symptoms back again. My periods have been getting farther and farther apart, and I'm getting constipated a lot again. I haven't had a period in over two months now and I'm not pregnant. I feel so blotted and tender. I haven't made my appointment yet but I am worried he will want me to get a hysterectomy this time. I'm not ready for that yet; I'm only 31. Published: July 07 ::
