Possible Endometriosis?

[warblerwool]

Hi! I should preface this by saying that I’m 18. I’ve been having problems for the past 3 months and I was wondering if they could possibly be endometriosis? Since mid december I’ve been having constant constipation (My bowels have never been good - but the constipation is constant and I’ve been having to take laxatives regularly since december) lots of gas and burping, bloating, mostly bowel issues. My periods have been extremely painful and heavy, the worst that they have ever been since my periods began at 13. Passing urine feels pressured and painful, sometimes stools as well. My PMS symptoms have ramped up as well, which again is unusual. I constantly have abdomen pain, and can feel bowel movements. I have had a scan but no results yet, likewise with a blood test. I’ve been super concerned with this for the last couple of months, and I feel a bit lost. I am not on any birth control, nor sexually active. Any advice is very much appreciated!

Definitely could be, though there are some overlaps with other conditions (there always are, and you do have a lot of the classic endo symptoms!) Glad you’re getting scans, I hope you find out what’s going on x
