Running in family?

[Newby2017]

Me again! So just found out 2 of my dad's brothers daughters have endo! One of which had to go full hysterectomy! Is this cause for concern while I'm just "suspected but having zoladex"? Should I mention it on next visit?!

I've read it can be passed through relatives and its always good to mention stuff even if you are unsure so mention it 😮

Thanks abi I wish I'd found out sooner I only found out because I looked for a forum on Facebook and seen they were both members so I asked! 🙀

It is hereditary. My Mom me and my sister have it and my cousin and now my daughter.

Its hard one its like an unlucky dip but people who have it in the family before have more a chance of winning 😮 If I have it (have my op today) I cant tell if its because I started my period young or because I was an obese child apparently that can cause it 😮

Not necessarily .. no one in my family has it or fertility issues. Im the only one who doesnt have kids. My gran had 13. My aunties had 2+ and my sisters had atleast 1 and my nieces have all had kids. None have any other issues that would suspect endo. Not saying you dont have endo, but a family history doesnt necessarily mean you have, and no family history doesnt mean you havent xx
