QuestionHey Angie,
Thanks for such a rapid response on yesterday. I mentioned in my previous question that I experienced cramps as a teenager before coming on the pill, however, the cramps were always pelvic type cramps and the degree of pain varied each month. At that time I was told this was normal PMS although I did have cramps really bad that I went to the ER once. Now the pain associated with my cycle is in the bowel area and I don't even really have front cramps anymore. Could endo be present and possibly have moved?
AnswerHi Angela,
First off, regardless to what you have been told as a young adult, cramps that hinder your everyday activities are not normal. Cramps that are so bad that you need to seek medical advice are not normal. This is the biggest sign of Endo. And the Pelvic area is most recognized as Endo.
Being on the pill could have put to Endo into "remission" for a lack of a better word.
Bowel Endo is not too common although not rare either. You could have recently developed Endo on the bowel. Endo is a progressive disease. It gets worse as time goes on. The Endo does not move so to speak, it just continues to grow in other areas.
If you are not ready to have this checked out yet and want to wait it bit there are a couple of things that you can try. If it is Endo there is a chance these things may help. If they do help then odds are even greater that you have Endo.
You can try the Endo Diet. Some people claim it has helped them a lot. Another thing you can try is Natural Progesterone Cream. And Endo specialist recommended that I try the cream while I wait for surgery and it has somewhat helped me. To read more about both of these options visit www.endo-resolved.com.
I hope you find out what is wrong soon and the best of luck while looking for a diagnosis.
Any more questions, please feel free to write me again.
I check my mail about 5 times a day so I do my best to answer same day.
Sincerely,
Angie
