Endometriosis starting point?
Does Endometriosis always start in the uterus and then spread?? Can it begin in the ovary and then travel?
Yes endo is bad its can spread everywhere. I thought i was suffering from IBS but it was the endo that had spread all over causing that kind of symtoms. I wish my doctor would of noticed this sooner. I now may not be able to have childern. I'm only 26.
Dear ladies
I had a hysterectomy 33 years ago (when I was 23) and my ovaries were taken when I was 39. I have suffered with lower abdomen pain, usually in my right side, for as long as I can remember and certainly a few months before I began menstruation when I was 12. My appendics burst when I was 33 so had emergency surgery to remove it. I started bleeding 8 months ago but thought it might be from bowel movements as I have always suffered with constipation. However, 5 months ago I noticed blood running down my leg when I got out of the bath and since then I have been bleeding mostly all the time but now clots appear at times. I talked to my sister about it and, as she had been suffering with endemetriosis, she thought that perhaps this is what I had to. Rather stupidly, I did nothing about it because I put my job first rather than my health. The last time I had intercourse in May 2009 was a painful experience and have not had any sexual activity since then and I am no longer in a relationship. After much pressure from my family and friends I saw a Dr on Tuesday this week. He believes I have endemetriosis and has urgently referred me to the gynaecology department of our local hospital. I am awaiting an appointment which the Dr said will be within the next 2 weeks. The health service in the UK is very poor but I remain hopeful that I will be seen quickly. I WILL post my results on this site. Please can you also put your results on this site to keep all us fellow sufferers informed. Thank you. Gloria (UK)

From what I have heard and research it seem to start in the abdominal cavity. For me I found out I had endo after being admitted to the hospital for collapsed lung and fuild from my lung show endo. It is rare to travel to the lung I was told. so yes it can travel There are many options talk to ur doc about what is best
