Endometriosis Symptoms: Could This Be the Cause of Your Pain?

Question
I am having severe pain near my gall bladder and sides. Some pain in the pelvic area. Doctor seems to think it is my gall bladder. The pain is enough to bring me to my knees. The pain isn't everyday but it's uaully all day when it hits. It does get worse with my period. Is there a chance this can be Endo? I asked my doctor and he said no because I was too young. I'm 18.

Answer
Hi Angie
    I would definitely think it's endo and you definitely need a new Dr...there is no age limit for endo. Once a girl/woman starts to menstruate and produce hormones ...any one is open to this disease. Find a good Dr. first...then explain your symptoms. Any good gyno will diagnose your condition and make life a whole lot easier for you and far less painful!
