The pain I experience during period varies each month... Some months, it's almost tolerable (when I do all of the precautions perfectly) and others, it's indescribably painful that I end up fainting, which is not normal. I'm tired of fainting almost each month, and of being constantly scared of starting my period.
I'm sorry to hear of your experience Malak. I can imagine it would be debilitating at times. I hope you are able to find adequate treatment to manage your symptoms!
Hi I’m curious to know how things are going for you. I always had pain in my lower right side, especially two weeks before my period would come, it had been goin on for so long I just lived with it and it became normal but now the symptoms are very intense as of last year. Pain set in my shoulders, digestive issues, tummy staying full. I feel like I’m just getting started on my journey and was curious on how yours is going. Thank you 🙏
I've always suffered with mine, even a week before and sometimes several days after, I'd have pain, including during. I used to faint due to the pain when I was younger. I've been to the doctors many times over the years, tried different remedies at home, medication and birth control too and was eventually diagnosed with PCOS (due to starting to suffer from daily chronic pain in 2018) but when I asked the doctor at that time if PCOS caused me the amount of pain that I'm in, they said no. I continued to fight for a diagnosis, a different one and went through Physiotherapy for 8 months and that didn't help either. Was referred to an MSK Specialist and they just put it down to Mechanical Back Pain which I was less than pleased with that result. So, eventually asked my doctors if I could be referred to a Gynaecologist and I'm due to have Laparoscopy in 2 weeks time. I don't know what to expect but I'm hoping they at least find something so I finally have more of an answer. However, I would not be surprised in the slightest if they told me I have Endometriosis. I have a colleague who was fighting for answers and it took 20 years for them to finally get a diagnosis of Endometriosis.
I'm sorry to hear of your experience! I appreciate you sharing your story. It may give other women the confidence to persevere in seeking an adequate diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
I'm 14 and I really am convinced that I have endo. My periods are so painful that I need up to 10 NSAIDS within a 24 hr period when you really should only have up to 4. Full body aches. Stabbing pain. Back pain. Nausea/vommiting, etc. A sort of heavy flow as well. No one believes me either. Especially as a woman of color I'm even less likely to be diagnosed. ☹️😣😢
hi! i’m currently experiencing the same thing right now. i’m 14, went for an ultrasound yesterday but there was nothing there. there is a history of endometriosis in my family, and i’m convinced i have it. what is your experience so far?
Endo its a symptom of an underactive thyroid (which is often never confirmed by a TSH test - which is pretty much useless). Endo is caused by estrogen dominance because without adequate thyroid hormone you CAN NOT produce progesterone - the result is estrogen dominance. But nearly all the time doctors are looking in the wrong place. Its in your neck, not between your legs. Wife suffered for years (less when taking the pill (because the pill is basically progesterone, so it basically supplements your natural inability to produce it yourself)... Sorted out her thyroid issues and basically doesn't any more. Had 7cm endometrioma which experts said would never shrink... last measured at < 4cms. No more clutching a pillow for 2-3 days a month and all the other unpleasentaries. Too many videos talk about endo but dont actually address the real cause. (or claim there is no cure... which is BS, they just havent figured it out yet) .... Mirena coil mentioned in video releases.... you guessed it, synthetic progesterone. Google, Dr David Brownstein, Dr Jorge Flechas, the iodine project etc. Vit C works due to its clearing of sodium Iodine Symporters. Tumeric (actually curcumin) is fine, but why try and suppress the inflammation when you can stop it in the first place. Zinc and intestinal permiability are mentioned. This is because to generate stomach acid you require adequate zine , iodine and salt. If you have inadequate stomach acid you can not break down proteins into amino acids. If you eat bread, Gluten is not broken down and gets through the gut lining. Your immune system then (rightly) attacks the foreign proteins. The downside is that this often mistakenly attacks the thyroid too ... resulting in ... you guessed it. etc etc etc. Chlorine, Fluorine and Bromine also displace Iodine (they're all halogens) in the cells iodine receptor sites.... resulting in... you guessed it. Natural Progesterone is fine and it helps, but theres nothing like curing the problem itself. 1) Check that you are Hypothyroid by putting a mercury or alcohol thermometer in your armpit for about 10 minutes before you get out of bed on days 2 and 3 of your period. If you are below 36.6 degrees you are likely to be hypothyroid. If you are hypothyroid then its likely this is the cause of your endometriosis. Everything we do from this point is an attempt to balance your hormones - Due to your hypothyroidism, you are very likely to be estrogen dominant ( meaning you do not have enough progesterone to balance the amount of estrogen in your body - I list the reasons in my other posts). 2) Start supplementing with selenium to protect your thyroid. 3) Start supplementing with iodine to ensure you have adequate amounts to generate thyroid hormone. Without adeqaute thyroid hormone you can not produce progesterone (which is what we need to balance the estrogen). Start off slow with a single 6mg drop of lugols iodine in your cup of tea each day. Slowly work up to 50mg per day (over the couse of the day) and then keep that up for about 2 months - but go easy and listen do your body. If you feel bad/jumpy/anxious then lower the dose back to 6mg). I cant stress enough that you should read the thyroid books by Dr David Brownstein and Dr Mark Starr etc first. Dont just blindly take the advice of some person on the internet ! 4) Remove/Lower your exposure to chemicals that affect the thyroid. The main ones are fluorine, chlorine, bromine. These are all halogens which displace iodine from your cells receptor sites. So, fluoride free toothdaste, Get a vitamin c shower filter if your water supply is chlorinated (chlorinated steam is much worse than just drinking chlorinated water)... additionally get a water filter that removes chlorine from your drinking water. Bromine is hard to avoid (its in fire retardants and some flour conditioners depending on where you live in the world. You might want to avoid eating bread/gluten. This is terrible for you and most people actually have an intolerance for it (albeit asymptomatic in most cases) - however the body can release antibodies to attack the foreign proteins if they get in your bloodstream - these will also accidentally damage your thyroid in an autoimmune response. Try and use only natural products that do not contain "fragrance" , SLS and other estrogen mimics. Under no circumstances microwave your food in plastic containers and try and avoid canned foods (they are often lined with BPA (another estrogen mimic). I think that those are the lowest hanging fruit when it comes to first steps in treating your endometriosis. I think it might be easier if i get my wife to write a blog post on everything she did so that i can just post a link to that :) Good Luck !
I think I've read your comment somewhere and I started using a progesterone cream. I normally have chronic pain 12 days before my period and it gets more aggressive each day up until my period. I used the progesterone cream last month 2 weeks before my period and I had no pain and then once I stopped using it the pain came back with a vengeance. On the instructions it says menstruating women should only take it 2 weeks before period and stop the day your period comes which is why I didn't use the cream after but my period is delayed because it's irregular. I had to sleep all day because my legs were giving out on me. I'm going to try the thermometer under arm as you've said. I normally take vitamin c around my period as well and I have iodine that I should start back taking. I'm also going to look into selenium. Thank you for putting this information out there. You've helped me.
I feel like I have this, my period is such excruciating pain I get deep back pain and severe stomach cramps and my periods are really heavy and get then every 2/3 weeks so I can barely do anything! when I get my pains I have to lay on the bathroom floor nearly crying 😢
@@amberxena99 For sure! But know whatever the doctor says, your pain is real and if your doctor says "Suck it up, it's normal", it's ok to find another doctor. Some people stay with doctors even if they discredit their pain, but you shouldn't have to!
I have painful periods. Today I just started my period and I'm in so much pain. I don't know if it's normal or not but I'm scared to know the answer. My pain starts with one week before starting my period and on my period the pain gets worse. But I think it's just a heavy period because I only have so much pain in the first days. First,second,third so it may be normal. But my question is. Is normal to have pain with one week before my period start? Also sometimes I even throw up but only on the first day.
I saw a video where a doctor said that having pain leading up to the period is a sign of endo! Pain so bad you throw up is definitely a sign. Hopefully you can get a good doctor or specialist to help you!!
Just finished uploading my own video on a similar title and this one came up as suggested.If a doctor tells you that endo pain is normal-RUN! If a doctor tells you that natural therapy can make things worse-RUN! How does eating healthy and living according to your infradian rhythm and taking care of yourself can make your endo worse can someone explain it to me? I see endo little bit like cancer in sense-if you need surgery, by all means, cut it out, don't wait but it always cracks me up when so-called medical specialists never mention how can we help our bodies to heal.there is no cure yet myself and thousand of others somehow manage to put endo into remission naturally...how come you doctors never talk about it? just out of curiosity.20 years of my own experience living with endo and all I heard was,, we will cut this,, and,, you will take this pill,,...why? why you never tell young girls that they can regulate their hormones, get rid of inflammation which is causing pain, and get rid of bloating naturally? why is it some kind of,, best-kept secrets,,?its because of money? or what is it accually?
because yes natural methods may help but if your in pain like me you need tablets to manage the pain you can't just cope with natural methods to manage pain unless your pain is not severe if you choose to try natural methods great but don't put others down because you think your way is only the best way both can work but it's best to get advice from the specialist and then if you choose other methods too good for you
@@emmawing340 Sis I know and remember the pain very well because I use to live with it for long 20 years. That's why I don't judge. If you are taking tablets to cope that's fine. I totally understand. I did it myself. But please be careful with this. I got to the point that I was taking tramadol and codeine like a candy with a gin. It was horrible. Pain is caused by a few things-it might be caused by endo tissue, adhesions, or chocolate cysts-in which case it needs to be removed by surgery. As much as I am all into natural healing-as much I am also realistic because I've been there myself. Pain is also caused by constant inflammation and here we can help our body massively. We can not just reduce but also eliminate inflammation naturally. And you are totally right-ask your doctor can you reduce and eliminate inflammation naturally. The good doctor not only confirms but also explains how to implement anti i9nflammatory diet. All the best and good luck. Never give up on yourself!
I have PCOS and I think I may have endo too. I am currently in the process of having this looked into but I have read comments from many endo suffers that say they have PCOS and endo.
My periods are regular and usually light. Only some pain on the second day but my periods are usually very easy. I’m only here because I have a slight burning sensation on my bladder and here to see if there are correlations. Because when I pee there is no burning. It just seems to be on the outside of my bladder. I’ve had Cystocopy and my doctors found nothing wrong on the inside so I’m wondering if it’s on the outside or possibly even my nerves.
Hello ma'am I'm from Philippines can i ask u something. I go for ultrasound then they found have a cyst coz every first day of my period so much pain. What should I do
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing so much pain. Unfortunately I can’t give personalized advice without a consultation, but I’d recommend starting by asking your doctor for an opinion
@@NourishwithMelanie the doctor write about my ultrasound is Normal size anteverted uterus with thickened proliferative endometrium. The right ovary is normal size. The left ovary is enlarged to present size with anechoic cyst mass with low level echoes measuring 2.25 x1.77x2.5 cms. Impression :late proliferative endometrium. Consider endrometric focus left ovary as measured. This is the doctor say in ultrasound
My doctor suggested a laparoscopy for me because I had iui and I didn’t fall pregnant. I’ve had two second trimester miscarriages from an incompetent cervix. I don’t have any pain, the OBGYN who wants to perform my laparoscopy said he doesn’t think I have endometriosis but will do my test anyway. I’m nervous, I don’t think I should have it. I have regular cramping, before period, during the period (first 2 days). I just want a baby :(
I actually went to go see a male gyno doctor (accidentally, I didn’t know he was the doctor) but I’m so glad I did because he actually told me I might have Endometriosis (I think he actually diagnosed me as well) he gave me progesterone to see if it would help and it did which means I likely have it and unfortunately that means I’ll always be in pain to a certain degree but at least I know now why. My personal tip, have someone you’re comfortable with put gentle pressure on your lower back or belly, my mom would do that for me when I couldn’t take any more pain meds and it helped. I don’t know why but pressure always feels nice, probably because of the outside tissue being massaged.
i'm in pain basically every day not just my period lol constantly in agony it's just worst when i am on my period waiting for surgery to confirm if its endo which will be a forever wait
Everything went downhill at 47 when I started having menopause symptoms. Started taking estrogen. 3 years later with no more periods I started bleeding. Had pelvic pain for 2 years with no diagnosis...had several pelvic ultrasounds. Last one had a 12mm uterine lining discovered and we decided on a full laparoscopic hysterectomy. Dr found Endometriosis on my bladder and around that area. Personally I think the estrogen was a culprit. I'm off all hormones now.
I feel like I'm far too young to have endometriosis but im here just to be sure. im 17 and my period cramps have always been worse than anyone I know and recently, in the past year, each of my periods have been getting worse and worse until I ended up having to leave work as soon as I got there because they were so bad that I started shaking, getting super lightheaded and having nausea. endo runs in my family but no one has ever been this young when they started showing symptoms. the cramping areas are my lower abdomen like normal, but it gets really bad in my lower back and thighs as well, I get migraines, really heavy bleeding and extreme PMS during my period in addition to beforehand. can anyone give me advice? is this normal? or am I just overreacting?
Hi Addy! Thank you for sharing your story. I definitely do no think you are overreacting. These symptoms are worth investigating. I would recommend seeking advice from a women's health care professional, if you can :)
Not a doctor, but what I’ve read is that the only way to really confirm endometriosis is through surgery. (Laparoscopy). It’ll be something you have to talk to your doctor about.
Guys has anyone experienced endo pain for 24/7? Could it be endo? I live in Hong Kong and it looks like doctors not really educated about it here. Just had my cyst removed on the left ovary a month ago. Since then I am in pain every day. I think doctor removed the cyst but not the endo😔it was a public hospital not sure about doctors experience and knowledge to spot it during the operation
I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had a surgery two years ago. After that my periods were painless. But now from 4 -6 months I m noticing that pain and discomfort is back again.. do endometriosis come back even after surgery?
I'm on my second period, and last night I was hit with a sharp pain and could not move for a good 3 minutes. I felt nauseous and googled it, endomitosis was the first result, and I noticed I was passing blood but not any solid. And my first period stoped, and then started heavy again, is this endomitosis?
I've been diagnosed of endo at my right uterus and done mri it was size 67mm.i never pain any pain even I have menstrual period.i want to conceive the doctor said my mri is ok except of having endo.can mri seen if I have scared tissue or blockage?
My male Dr. Diagnosed me with dysmenorrhea and prescribed me a pain killer (aleve) 😒.. rather than looking into the actual cause. Said that "it's normal for some women to cramp more than others, bc everyone is different" .. I have regular periods at age 31 but been suffering extreme pain every month some worse than others /diarrhea/vomit/nausea it's gotten better in terms of vomit but I still have bad pain enough to prevent me from getting up from bed. Ive missed school in the past work days bc of the extreme pain & you get tired of ppl telling you to "woman up" "it's a normal thing (periods)" "stop being lazy" "excusing yourself" "making stuff up" "youre exaggerating" "stop whining" etc etc etc.. 😡😤 if only ppl understood how It truly feels, they would then understand 😪.. I have to get checked all I know is my aunts had PCOS & a cousin with Endo. But not sure what I have.. I've always had stomach issues like constipation, my appendix was removed, and I can't digest foods properly, they said i wasn't absorbing nutrients properly. They mentioned i wasn't producing enough bile but than they showed I was producing bile but food wasn't being digested idk .. been having canker sores bumps like and white rings that come and go at times on my tongue 👅 not sure why but I feel like it's related to my stomach(I don't smoke/drink/drugs) so I'm "healthy" i may be gluten....
I'm going to come off the pill in the next while to start trying for a baby and it's terrifying. I used to be in so much pain I went blind regularly and near fainted every single time.
I am unable to access Racheal’s link , I would love to talk to her , I will be having a laparoscopy in April to diagnose endometriosis, my doctor is sure that I have it he just has to medically diagnose it
I have delay period issue and doc said its because of hormonal disturbance.. But never any doc gave any permanent treatment for this..forexample if i don't take medicn like 6 months or three months , i get late periods.
I've had cramping in my lower back sides and pelvic area for almost 2 years along with heavy periods and clots when on period. Despite being on the mini pill, I have had an abdominal ultrasound and straight away the sonogropher decided to do an internal scan. Received results few days ago and wss told I possibly have endometriosis however its inconclusive and have been referred to gynaecologist
Hi Sidu. I'm glad you are investigating your symptoms and it seems like the health care professionals are helping you determine a diagnosis. I hope you receive adequate treatment and have access to a range of health care professionals that can help you :)
@@NourishwithMelanie oh my doc said u have multi layered endometrium it sounds like u have not been mensturation for so long. But my periods are regular properly my cycle is 30days never missed period in any month. Then what doez it mean😊
I am on my period for the first time(13 years old) and for the first two days in the morning I had super bad leg pain. The third day I was okay but the fourth day it came back and it hurt really bad. Do I have endometriosis? Can you please reply?🙏🏻
There may be many reasons for bloating so it is difficult to say if it is a symptom of endometriosis. If the bloating is painful and lasts a long time, it may be worth investigating the cause with a women's health care professional.
The pain I experience during period varies each month... Some months, it's almost tolerable (when I do all of the precautions perfectly) and others, it's indescribably painful that I end up fainting, which is not normal.

I self diagnosed myself & then had a laparoscopy to confirm this year. Ive made my first appointment with Rachel next month can’t wait 😊
Great! You'll be in great hands with Rachel :)

I’m only here because I have a slight burning sensation on my bladder and here to see if there are correlations. Because when I pee there is no burning. It just seems to be on the outside of my bladder. I’ve had Cystocopy and my doctors found nothing wrong on the inside so I’m wondering if it’s on the outside or possibly even my nerves.
Hey did you figure out what it was? I'm kinda having same symptoms
Hello ma'am I'm from Philippines can i ask u something. I go for ultrasound then they found have a cyst coz every first day of my period so much pain. What should I do
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing so much pain. Unfortunately I can’t give personalized advice without a consultation, but I’d recommend starting by asking your doctor for an opinion
@@NourishwithMelanie the doctor write about my ultrasound is
Normal size anteverted uterus with thickened proliferative endometrium. The right ovary is normal size. The left ovary is enlarged to present size with anechoic cyst mass with low level echoes measuring 2.25 x1.77x2.5 cms.
Impression :late proliferative endometrium. Consider endrometric focus left ovary as measured.
This is the doctor say in ultrasound
My doctor suggested a laparoscopy for me because I had iui and I didn’t fall pregnant. I’ve had two second trimester miscarriages from an incompetent cervix. I don’t have any pain, the OBGYN who wants to perform my laparoscopy said he doesn’t think I have endometriosis but will do my test anyway. I’m nervous, I don’t think I should have it. I have regular cramping, before period, during the period (first 2 days). I just want a baby :(
I actually went to go see a male gyno doctor (accidentally, I didn’t know he was the doctor) but I’m so glad I did because he actually told me I might have Endometriosis (I think he actually diagnosed me as well) he gave me progesterone to see if it would help and it did which means I likely have it and unfortunately that means I’ll always be in pain to a certain degree but at least I know now why. My personal tip, have someone you’re comfortable with put gentle pressure on your lower back or belly, my mom would do that for me when I couldn’t take any more pain meds and it helped. I don’t know why but pressure always feels nice, probably because of the outside tissue being massaged.
Thank you for sharing your story. It certainly helps others who are going through similar experiences. Take care.
i'm in pain basically every day not just my period lol constantly in agony it's just worst when i am on my period waiting for surgery to confirm if its endo which will be a forever wait
Everything went downhill at 47 when I started having menopause symptoms. Started taking estrogen. 3 years later with no more periods I started bleeding. Had pelvic pain for 2 years with no diagnosis...had several pelvic ultrasounds. Last one had a 12mm uterine lining discovered and we decided on a full laparoscopic hysterectomy. Dr found Endometriosis on my bladder and around that area. Personally I think the estrogen was a culprit. I'm off all hormones now.
I feel like I'm far too young to have endometriosis but im here just to be sure. im 17 and my period cramps have always been worse than anyone I know and recently, in the past year, each of my periods have been getting worse and worse until I ended up having to leave work as soon as I got there because they were so bad that I started shaking, getting super lightheaded and having nausea. endo runs in my family but no one has ever been this young when they started showing symptoms. the cramping areas are my lower abdomen like normal, but it gets really bad in my lower back and thighs as well, I get migraines, really heavy bleeding and extreme PMS during my period in addition to beforehand. can anyone give me advice? is this normal? or am I just overreacting?
Hi Addy! Thank you for sharing your story. I definitely do no think you are overreacting. These symptoms are worth investigating. I would recommend seeking advice from a women's health care professional, if you can :)
Is it possible to have endometriosis and it not show up in a vaginal ultrasound provided by a gynaecologist??
I have the same question
Not a doctor, but what I’ve read is that the only way to really confirm endometriosis is through surgery. (Laparoscopy).
It’ll be something you have to talk to your doctor about.
It doesn't tell
Guys has anyone experienced endo pain for 24/7? Could it be endo? I live in Hong Kong and it looks like doctors not really educated about it here. Just had my cyst removed on the left ovary a month ago. Since then I am in pain every day. I think doctor removed the cyst but not the endo😔it was a public hospital not sure about doctors experience and knowledge to spot it during the operation
I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had a surgery two years ago. After that my periods were painless. But now from 4 -6 months I m noticing that pain and discomfort is back again.. do endometriosis come back even after surgery?
You would need to consult with your doctor regarding this
Thank you for sharing this video. I have all the symptoms for endi but I have 1 day period and very light, should I still look into testing/diagnosis?
Yes, I used to have light period but i still have endometriosis
I would suggest talking to your doctor to see what they think.
I'm on my second period, and last night I was hit with a sharp pain and could not move for a good 3 minutes. I felt nauseous and googled it, endomitosis was the first result, and I noticed I was passing blood but not any solid. And my first period stoped, and then started heavy again, is this endomitosis?
I would strongly suggest to see your doctor regarding this.
We just made an appointment, thank you
@@WalkinWzomb13z Great to hear
Does endometriosis include having pain even when you are not on your period? Because I'm very much suffering from so
Endometriosis looks different for different women. Best to get a diagnosis to be sure.
@@NourishwithMelanie well that's why I'm asking, is an MRI enough for a diagnosis? Because that's all I'm gonna do
I've been diagnosed of endo at my right uterus and done mri it was size 67mm.i never pain any pain even I have menstrual period.i want to conceive the doctor said my mri is ok except of having endo.can mri seen if I have scared tissue or blockage?
My male Dr. Diagnosed me with dysmenorrhea and prescribed me a pain killer (aleve) 😒.. rather than looking into the actual cause. Said that "it's normal for some women to cramp more than others, bc everyone is different" .. I have regular periods at age 31 but been suffering extreme pain every month some worse than others /diarrhea/vomit/nausea it's gotten better in terms of vomit but I still have bad pain enough to prevent me from getting up from bed. Ive missed school in the past work days bc of the extreme pain & you get tired of ppl telling you to "woman up" "it's a normal thing (periods)" "stop being lazy" "excusing yourself" "making stuff up" "youre exaggerating" "stop whining" etc etc etc.. 😡😤 if only ppl understood how It truly feels, they would then understand 😪.. I have to get checked all I know is my aunts had PCOS & a cousin with Endo. But not sure what I have..
I've always had stomach issues like constipation, my appendix was removed, and I can't digest foods properly, they said i wasn't absorbing nutrients properly. They mentioned i wasn't producing enough bile but than they showed I was producing bile but food wasn't being digested idk .. been having canker sores bumps like and white rings that come and go at times on my tongue 👅 not sure why but I feel like it's related to my stomach(I don't smoke/drink/drugs) so I'm "healthy" i may be gluten....
I'm going to come off the pill in the next while to start trying for a baby and it's terrifying. I used to be in so much pain I went blind regularly and near fainted every single time.
I am unable to access Racheal’s link , I would love to talk to her , I will be having a laparoscopy in April to diagnose endometriosis, my doctor is sure that I have it he just has to medically diagnose it
I have delay period issue and doc said its because of hormonal disturbance.. But never any doc gave any permanent treatment for this..forexample if i don't take medicn like 6 months or three months , i get late periods.
I would recommend making an appointment with a dietitian or myself for some personalised help. www.melaniemcgrice.com.au/booknow/
I've had cramping in my lower back sides and pelvic area for almost 2 years along with heavy periods and clots when on period. Despite being on the mini pill, I have had an abdominal ultrasound and straight away the sonogropher decided to do an internal scan. Received results few days ago and wss told I possibly have endometriosis however its inconclusive and have been referred to gynaecologist
Can an internal scan give u any indicationif endometriosis? As Dr wasn't very clear just said my lining needs lookING into
Hi Sidu. I'm glad you are investigating your symptoms and it seems like the health care professionals are helping you determine a diagnosis. I hope you receive adequate treatment and have access to a range of health care professionals that can help you :)
Thank you for making this video
Do you have to get a pelvic exam in order to know if you have it??
You do have to see a doctor and undergo medical examination for confirmation of this condition
My enfometrium is multi layered 1.2cm visualized.what does it mean can i get pregnant in this
That’s a question for your doctor 🙂
@@NourishwithMelanie oh my doc said u have multi layered endometrium it sounds like u have not been mensturation for so long. But my periods are regular properly my cycle is 30days never missed period in any month. Then what doez it mean😊
@@NourishwithMelanie doc said ur prolactin is high what should i do for this
@@NourishwithMelanie after my periods n ovulation in how many days i can get to know that i hv concieved?
I am on my period for the first time(13 years old) and for the first two days in the morning I had super bad leg pain. The third day I was okay but the fourth day it came back and it hurt really bad.
Do I have endometriosis? Can you please reply?🙏🏻
I would suggest you see your doctor regarding this
I think since it's your first time having your period, your body is not used to it and some pain might be normal in different places :)
s g thanks you!!
Nourish with Melanie you think?
@@konstantinazaverda2092 I also have a video on diet and period pain as well - ua-cam.com/video/CS6-ZgzlNmg/v-deo.html
Can you help with this..if you can???
Please see my comment below
@@NourishwithMelanie meeee too
@@NourishwithMelanie diet for this please
Could u have this if ur always bloated
There may be many reasons for bloating so it is difficult to say if it is a symptom of endometriosis. If the bloating is painful and lasts a long time, it may be worth investigating the cause with a women's health care professional.
umm i have had my period i think since xmas non stop and i have golf ball clots regularly am i ok
You poor girl! No, that’s not normal. I’d recommend speaking to your doctor about this.
Iam having so much severe pain in anal...on my butt hole its very painful is it endometriosis
