Is Vaginal Spotting Normal In A Sexually Active Woman With Endometriosis?

Hi, I have endometriosis. I am wanting to know what is meant by the term sexually active . Does it only involve sexual intercourse, or is oral sex and fingering also involved? If I am sexually active, should I be concerned with continuous spotting, and if so why?

Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
I think it is a symptoms of endometriosis.

Following are symptoms of endometriosis:
Painful, heavy, or irregular periods
Pain and spotting during or after sex
Infertility
Painful bowel movements
Fatigue

Following are treatments of endometriosis:
1. Hormonal therapy:
- Progestrone
- Oral contraceptive pills
- Danazole and gestrinone
- GnRH agonist
- NSAIDS for pain relief
2. Surgery: if associated with sever pain and infertility
- Excision of endometrium and adhesion with preservation of uterus and ovary.

Also do hormone profile test llike LH, FSH, Progesterone, estrogen , throid hormone.

Hope this may help you.

Best regards
Dr. Sagar
