Hi everyone

I need to ask about endometriosis symptoms. If one or two symptoms are present there it means u have this disease or not?

Endometriosis is a strange thing as there is no way of knowing without a laparoscopy! It won't show on blood tests or scans! What symptoms do you have?

I agree with kellywalters, it's such a tricky disease (I have it) that you can have it severely yet have no symptoms or only mildly and suffer terribly with lots of symptoms 😕 Unfortunately only a laparoscopy will give a definite diagnosis. Have you sought medical help? Lots of luck to you x

Hi, I agree with the comments on here. I have endometriosis and get good information from the endometriosis uk community on here so maybe look it up good luck x

Hi Zahra23. I agree with the others. If your symptoms persist e.g. pain and heavy periods, then they need to be investigated further. Should you need to have a laparoscopy, then if any is found, it will hopefully be lasered away. However, it cannot be guaranteed that it won't return again. Good luck! Diane
