Many women of today have endometriosis which is a scaring of the female organ tissues. They run to the doctor and many are sent home with pain pills for the menstrual cycle because the doctors aren't educated enough on this disease. You need to call a gynocologist that knows about endometriosis and she/he will assess you with ways to handle pain management. Today there are many ways of handling the pain and stress of this disease.
You can go in and have a thorough examination along with a laporoscopy, if they find anything it will be taken care of. Doctors have many ways of ending the irritation of endometriosis by pain medication, surgery, or hysterectomy. Now, you ask if you can still have children? Some women still concieve, while others do not, depending on the extent of the disease. Women can still go on with their everyday lifestyles because it doesn't make you any less of a woman nor does it disable you if you keep up with your doctor.
I had endometriosis years ago and finally found the right doctor to end my suffering. I had laporascopy a couple times and finally a hysterectomy, but I have a beautiful child that I thought would never happen. Don't let endometriosis get you down you are in control.

What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue like the endometrium (the lining inside the uterus which builds up and sheds each month during menstruation) migrates outside the uterus to other areas of the body. These implants continue to break down and bleed; the result is internal bleeding, degeneration of blood and tissue shed from the growths, inflammation of the surrounding areas, and formation of painful adhesions and scar tissue. Endometriosis has been documented in nearly every location of the body, including such remote and unusual sites as the brain, sciatic nerve, lungs and even skin. Endometriosis can cause debilitating pain and infertility, and despite being one of the most common reasons for chronic pelvic pain, the disease remains widely misunderstood. If you read this passage you will know that it does have scar tissue.........

Endo is not a scarring of the female organs - it is the presence of tissue from inside the uterus located elsewhere in the body. This article does not do justice to the disease...see www.endocenter.org and www.endometriosis.org for accurate, true info.

Very poorly written. The writer should refrain from writing as she speaks.
