I'm new here, I'd like to hear your advice in my journey to discover if I have Endo or PCOS or is it all just stress related?!

Hey, I'm still in my early 20s I would like to hear from you all about your opinions about my issue.

I tend to have bad abdominal and back pain about 10 days before my period and then during my period, it is very painful to the point where I have to have warm bags on my stomach and lie in bed for two days or so. I get lots of clotty clumps and heavy periods, also constipation tends to appear regularly during my period. The abdominal pain continues a couple of days after my period too. I have tried to seek medical attention but all results/ scans appear within normal range. I have developed bald like hair loss and acne too. My GP tells me to take the pill even though I'm still not married yet. I guess at this point, I want to see what you ladies would like to advise me? should I just start the pill or should I seek further research in the matter?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
