No Periods, Endometrosis?
I have been thru the ringer tyring to figure out what is wrong with me. I am thinking possible endometreosis. Everything points toward it! I just dont have periods so my OB told me it isnt possible. Is this true?
I have had severe chronic perliv/abdo pain since Ocotber. That is how ong it has been since I have been to work. I also have severe fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and numerous other symptoms such as shooting pains in my anus, and cramping after sex. I have read the list of symtoms and have almost all of them. I was thinking endometreosis because my fam doctor thought that orginally, but because I do not have periods due to my IUD my OB said it isn't possible. I saw GI and went thru all of there procedures, and it is nothing intestinal related, even though my intestines hurt. My GI doctor said endometreosis is not period related but hormone related, and now I am not sure if I need to see another OB to be re-evaluated for endometreosis.
Those conditions would not be unusual in an obese person. Obesity basically ages a person and accelerates problems like those.
Why don't you have periods? If you don't know the reason for that, such as having had a hysterectomy, then you need to find out why you don't. Even if you have had your uterus removed, you could have endometriosis elsewhere, but you have not explained your symptoms and why you think you have it. Is it pain you are having?
Or are you having lots of odd symptoms along with missing periods? You can read about polycystic ovarian syndrome here:
