I have had pain in my pubic mound and groin since April last year.

I now see a physiotherapist who says i have an upslip pelvis, sprained pubovesicle ligament and strained distal insertion the rectus abdominus.

I see a gynie today who said i could haveEndemetriosis.

She told me to take the pill microgynon for 3 months and if the pain goes away then i haveEndemetriosis.

How am i going to know if its that i have endo or if the physio has solved my problems above if i take the pill?

Physio says to postpone dont take the tablets for a month and allow her to work on me. But she has said because my nan had endo i am likely to have it. But she says best way for endo is diet...

Please help thanks

Carly

Hi Carly the only way to really find out if it is endo is to have a laparoscopy. If you have a close relative with it this increases your chances of having it.

So my advise would be to push for a lap to find out. Taking the pill will only mask the symptoms at best.

Good luck.
