Pill and endo

Can u still have endo even if on pill

As far as I know, yes you can have it. You may have less or no symptoms because of the pill.

I've been on the pill for six yrs. Pelvic pain getting worse and back ache is killing me. Other things as well. Doc says it could be endo so waiting for gygnie appointment. But then I read they give the pill for pain relief........

I took the pill for 3 months it improved my pain from 10 to 9 ( in a 1-10 scale). I decided to have the surgery because that wasn't a relief for me and i did have endo.

Did the surgery help yiota?

[Yiota in reply to sandy112]

I only had one period since then and it was painful, but you cannot judge from that because it is just after surgery and everything is still healing inside.

Yes. It can stop it from getting any worse but the pill won't get rid of what is already there
