Do I talk to doctor about endo?

After doing some research and asking fellow sufferers on here, I do have a feeling that I have Emdometriosis. (Very early period pain/ pain when urinating/ diarrhoea/ back and pelvic pain/ nausea/ headaches etc).

I have a doctors appointment on Monday to further discuss episodes of dizziness that I have been having for some time. Do I suggest that it may be related to Endometriosis? Even if it's not related, should I bring it up anyway? I'm scared to mention it in case my doctor isn't familiar with endometriosis and it possibly may not be linked to the dizziness anyway.

Thanks, Bel X

If bring it up regardless. If they don't know much about it then ask to be referred to a Gynaecologist.

When I brought it up I ended up having an Ultra-Sound scan to see if they could find anything but they didn't so I'm now on the waiting list to have a Laparoscopy which will determine whether I have Endo or not.

It's always worth bringing up your concerns as some doctors may not even consider it. The problems that come with Endo can be related to other problems. So definitely mention it and let us know what is said.

Good luck and I hope I've helped.
