Have you told the doctor this and that you think it could be endometriosis ?

I would say that you think it could be that. There may even be a mention of this in your medical records already. You could ask if it has been mentioned.

Have you had an ultrasound scan or an MRI ? If not I would ask for an ultrasound scan which should show if you have any cysts. It probably won't show if there is endometriosis anywhere else though. It would be necessary to have a laparoscopy to see where it is. Adhesions can hide endometriosis. If you are thinking of having a laparoscopy, I may be able to suggest someone to see. What part of the country are you ?
