What Are The Symptoms Of Endometriosis?
Hello
I recently (December 2015) went off the Pill so that I can start trying to conceive.
Since then, I have done 3 IUIs with no luck. Each time I had developed eggs that were released ( I have no issue with ovulation). I know it has only been 6 months- however when I went to go see a fertility specialist he suggested that I may have Endometriosis, although I do not have the symptoms described other than some cramps on Day 1 of my period. I am wondering if 6 months would be enough time to develop a severe case of Endometriosis after the pill and/or is it just timing/not enough time trying?
(All blood tests and fertility tests came out good- no issues, and there is no male factor). I am 30- very healthy.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Exact cause of endometriosis is not known. There are environmental factor (exposure to nickle), genetic factor,retrograde ejaculation, vasculogenesis, increased expression of nerve fiber and autoimmune process associated with increased risk of endometriosis.
Following are the symptoms of the endometriosis:
But remember 20-25 percent women are asymptomatic.
Painful, heavy, or irregular periods, Pain and spotting during or after sex
Infertility, Painful bowel movements and Fatigue.
Diagnosis should be made by the USG scan, laproscopy examination and Histopathological of tissue help in confirmation of disease.
After confirmation of endometriosis, treatment should be start as it cause infertility problem.
You have to consult the gynecologist for better treatment.
1. Hormonal therapy:Progestrone. birth control pill and danazole
and NSAIDS for pain relief
2. Surgery: if not responds to drug and infertility will be there.
Excision of endometrium and adhesion: preservation of uterus and ovary. depend upon the stage and fertility
Hope this may help you.
