What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Endometriosis?

I think I have endometriosis. It runs in my family and I have several symptoms. Is there any way to be tested without having the gyno go inside my vagina? I m a virgin and extremely tight, some tampons are even too big and hurt. I don t want to be examined, but I want to be able to seek treatment.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
Following are symptoms of endometriosis:
Painful, heavy, or irregular periods, Pain and spotting during or after sex, Infertility, painful bowel movements and fatigue.

I would suggest to consult the gynecologist and get examined.
Investigations: USG scan, laparoscopy and histopathology.

Following are treatments of endometriosis:
1. Hormonal therapy:
- Progestrone, Oral contraceptive pills. Danazole, 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.
Hope this may help you.
