Hello,

Thanks for your question.

Endometriosis doesn’t follow any distinct pattern, which is why it is difficult for the doctor to know that a woman has the disease. Hormone levels are not necessarily altered in the presence of endometrosis; therefore it is not really surprising to find normal blood work up, hormones and ovulation in you.

The most common signs of endometriosis though are; pain before and during menstruation, pain with intercourse, general chronic pelvic pain throughout the month, low back pain; heavy and irregular periods; Painful bowel movements - especially during menstruation; fatigue; painful urination especially during menstruation; etc.

So pain which you’re having during the month may have been due to pain of Endometriosis.

Hope I answered your question. For any more question, do post your follow up, I will be readily available to reply.

Get well soon!!!
