    I think doctors have a bias towards believing women when they say they’re in pain. People in general tend to think women are just emotional and/or wusses. So they usually just think we’re exaggerating when we tell them our symptoms.

    Especially black women. It's been proven time and time again that health "professionals" often dismiss our claims. Supposedly we have super strength and higher pain tolerance than other women and should just deal with it.

    In my experience, I find that sometimes having a male obgyn can be better because they will run a battery of tests to find out where the symptoms are coming from. They ask more questions and try to get more information because although they study women's bodies they have no predisposition about what a woman is going through. Women obgyn's sometimes dismiss things because they are women themselves and think they know what's going on. You have to really push women for more diagnostics.

    Cows get endometriosis because of the food they eat which is soy based. Soy increases a hormonal reaction in the body that causes severe tissue growth especially the reproductive system. Virtually all the food products we eat today have soy which which increases the hormone estrogen. An over abundance of this hormone causes endometriosis and eventually STERILITY.

She herself, who has a medical background, was not aware of the illness up to her diagnosis. Her experience is my experience and the experience of many, many women who have the disease.

My periods can be pretty painful, not to the point of feeling nauseous though. I’ll cramp for the first 3-4 days of my period. My hips become sore and occasionally my back would hurt too. But I do get pms, sometimes the mild cramps would start as soon as a week b4. My body is weird though cuz my cycles are hella inconsistent, usually very long (30-49 days.) My period itself is 4-6 days. GI issues off period, but it just intensifies when I’m on my period. I’m not sure if I have endometriosis though.

    I’ve suffered with unbearable, heavy periods for years. I would have severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, even pain in my legs, no amount of pain killers would even make a dent in the pain, & I felt like people thought I was exaggerating the pain. I ended up severely anemic needing blood transfusions, iron infusions, left me having a hard time breathing, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, extreme fatigue. I would go through 3 large pads & 10-12 ultra Tampons in an hour, I asked a previous ob years ago if it could possibly be endometriosis, and was ignored. I finally caved & had a hysterectomy in December. Just found out yesterday from my ob’s Pa, that I had endometriosis all over my uterus & they also had to remove my tubes as it had spread to there. I’m so frustrated that this maybe could have been dealt with years ago. It’s sad to say but sometimes you have to be your own advocate.

It took me over 10 years for a doctor to even want to check me for endometriosis. I only got diagnosed earlier this summer and my intestines have now fused with my pelvic cavity. I have had 3 months in constant agony and I am not sure I can take it much longer. The dream of having kids has been shattered and now I only dream of one day hopefully having surgery and regaining a bit of energy. I would be more than happy to just be pain free every other day. I lost my job because of this, and honestly everything just sucks. I am going to see the doctor who diagnosed me tomorrow, and hopefully she will refer me to a clinic where I can start to get some sort of treatment if possible.

It is very embarrassing because nobody understands what causes pain every month for me to scream. So I suffer in silence until I live with my boyfriend he is so shocked every month at my pain he even asked if he can drive me to the hospital. When I was in middle school I asked my doctor what can we do and all she said was she can prescribe me painkillers. I gave up since then but now I realize something really must be wrong because I still have not met anyone with this pain like me. I will try to see another doctor until I get taken seriously

I'm a nurse, from a lot of years I've been studying the severe menstrual pain and some methods to prevent it, first by means of an easy progressive thermal stimulation and after, if necessary, by a particular controle of your food. The cause of your pain must be studied, understanded and resolved. You can write to me by my email osv1950@gmail.com : we can speak better than here and I will send you an attachment (here not possible) of a first method, very glad to help you not to suffer unnecessarily next times.

I actually studied this condition for years and I kept telling my doctors this really could be it and they never looked into it. I actually had said it could be umbilical endometriosis which is rare and 2 days ago I had an MRI of the abdomen and pelvis and they found a 1.8cm nodule in the umbilicus area. Now we are scheduling a surgery to remove the noodle and check for endometriosis in the pelvis and umbilicus. I studied my symptoms and medical research over the 3 years and I am finally going to get confirmation that I was right. I'm so relieved.

I finally put up a go fund me at the age of 32 to just pay out right for my hysterectomy and I am so happy to say I am 80% pain free. I realize now that a hysterectomy isn't a cure since I still get reoccurring cysts that burst, however that beats what my life once was. I wish the best to anyone struggling with this awful pain.

    My best friend just had the same thing happen. She got diagnosed with endometriosis yesterday after 4 years of pain and over 10 different doctors and multiple gynaecologists. She had surgery yesterday. I'm a nurse and know about endometriosis, and have always thought that that was the problem. They even removed her appendix a couple years ago thinking she had appendicitis. Had her on long term NSAID medications which is terrible for your stomach. She finally found a gynaecologist that helped her and put her on the list for surgery within 3 months. It's not just a racism problem it's the fact that people don't understand how debilitating endometriosis is. It's not just period pain, it's severe pain and it gets worse. My friend has been in severe pain everyday for the last 6 months. Plus all the other symptoms on top of that she has barely been able to get herself out of bed.

    Hi, I'm diagnosed with ibs but not very convinced as I have been going to ER a few days before my period starts. Symptoms like vomiting and abdominal pain was really bad. I'm having symptoms such as nausea, brain fog, insomnia everyday for the past 2 months. One of my gut doctor said it could be long covid. I'm really hoping you can give me an insight of what's ur friend's daily symptoms (even when she dun have her period?)

It makes you sick for a week or 2, literally you feel like you can't function daily & in alot of pain & discomfort sometimes. I did the surgery, injection treatment & birth control. As long as you have ovaries it comes back because the estrogen is to high.

    If you have excision surgery, endometriosis should not come back even with ovaries. You need a surgeon who is skilled specifically in excision. There aren’t many in the US and fewer world-wide. The Facebook group Nancy’s Nook has a list of surgeons committed to excision treatment and recurrence is less than 20% with these surgeons. I’ve had 12 surgeries total. My last being with Dr. Mosbrucker in WA state. I’d suffered for 25 years. Now I live pain free.

I remember I was having tremendous pain and swelling in my throat 2016. I couldn't talk for long, my voice would disappear which lead me to get fired from my call center job. I went to an ent dr, but he kept telling me nothing was wrong. I kept going back n he got irritated with me. I found another ent and he told me I have tonsillitis. I had to have my tonsils removed, and I feel so much better. Now I'm going through tremendous physical pain and I don't know why. No one can give me an answer, and they don't even bother to check the root of the problem.

My symptoms and pain reduced by 75% when up dairy but the remaining left when I gave up gluten

    It took my doctors over 30 years before they finally diagnosed me with endometriosis and the worst thing I had an endoscopy to remove the endometriosis but now another few years later and I'm almost certain it's back. The pain is becoming unbearable that I can't leave the house from severe pain. Even applying heat isn't easing it and I'm on strong medication for my nerve damage in my spine and its not easing any pain in my stomach. It makes you feel like losing the will to live its just awful. I pray one day to wake up completely free of pain because this isn't a life and if I were an animal I'd be put out of my misery. Honestly anyone who doesn't believe a woman going through this needs a reality check. Endometriosis is an awful disease to have plus the fact it stopped me from ever having children to feel like a complete woman its a cruel disease.

    Same here sister. 30 years later I finally have a diagnosis. Youre not alone hey. Please hang in there. Ive been invalidated too, by people who needed a reality check over the years. Im trialling cbd and medical cannabis oil right now. I have only just started. Its meant to reduce the pain and also seems promising to reduce the growth or stop endo growth. I am not an agent, lol, just trying to help others. Its too early for me to tell if this will help me but ive heard good reports from other endo people that its helped them. Ive never had any surgery for this. I have a 5 cm endometrioma. A good diet has helped me also. No gluten, limited dairy, and limited sugar. Plus raw cruceriferous veg, big salads, tsp fresh grated ginger per day (proven to be very good for counteracting ovarian cancer). So far my endometrioma hasnt grown any further and my blood levels improved a lot! But it takes time - years - so you need to kickstart your body in other ways too. Supplements etc. Etc. Lemon balm powder will get rid of any viruses that sit in your pelvis too. I also did intermittent fasting.

My doctor told me that she didn’t believe me after I had been seen by her for over a year and that she didn’t experience it every month & she wouldn’t do my hysterectomy. I got a second opinion and they told me what was wrong with me & they did my hysterectomy. I had fibroids and another form of endometriosis. My uterus was 6.6 oz in weight. Six times the size of a normal uterus.

    Finally was able to convince a doctor I wanted to be sterilized at 40 (started asking at 16!), and while he was in there, turns out he removed moderate endometriosis! If doctors had taken me seriously in one of many ways (extreme period pain with some wild PMS in my 30s or that I knew I never wanted kids at 12 and wanted permanent sterilization), they could have not made me go through 30 years of pain that prevented me from living a normal life or planning normal activities. It was easier for them to give me a script for flexeril instead of asking what hurts and why. I had surgery 3.5 weeks ago and my period is even worse than usual, hoping it'll settle down in a few cycles. Best wishes for all the others out there that need help and hope y'all can find doctors that believe your pain and want to help instead of just extort you for money and tell you "that pain is normal, let me write you another script for it." I'm gonna go eat RSO and go to bed.

    My endometriosis symptoms were: cistitis like symptoms very often, like every 2-3 months, bleeding when sexual contact. For 2 years was treated for cistitis until I refused to believe it so I was finally suggested to see the gyno. The gyno only with these 2 symptoms said she thought I had the endometriosis but required a laparoscopia. At my first laparoscopic -2 days after seeing the gyno-test was found around 5 locations of the endometriosis on the uterus and ovaries. No pain until years after the diagnosis, endometriosis must have developed somewhere around the colon. But the pill stopped the pain. The pill works for me.
