Pcos and endo

[erable]

Does anyone know how common PCOS is with Endometriosis? Definitely have the former which was diagnosed 20 Years ago but have many endo symptoms too as of last few years. Bit apprehensive about the whole thing...

It isn’t uncommon to have both conditions and I think they are thinking if they may be somehow connected. I know quite a few of the ladies on the pcos Uk Facebook group have both conditions

Hi.

I was diagnosed with endo 10 years ago. I’ve been seeing the dr past 2 years for other symptoms which have just come on such as migraines, dizziness, fatigue etc.. I was sent for a scan to see if my endo had gotten worse since my last operation and they discovered PCOS.

The nurse told me that they are not necessarily linked but obviously have a lot in common.

Go back to your GP and get a scan to see what’s going on. Now that I know I’m focusing on changing my lifestyle and diet to help manage symptoms in any way possible - if it’s even possible! It’s such an awful thing and so exhausting!

I have both. Not sure how common it is, though!

I have both, only full way of knowing if you have endo tho is to have a laparoscopy as endo doesn't always show on scans as my endo didn't show on scan
