Personally, I cannot stress enough, the importance of regular check ups!!!

What symptom, of endometriosis, is too hard to talk about? Doctors are trained and used to hearing all kinds of things. Even to discuss fluctuations in moods.

Endo can be very painful, and like someone with fibroids, there can be a large loss of blood. My mom and grandmom had fibroids and those aren't fun. I work with a woman who had endo, and she had to rely on one of her babies diapers, a few times just to get through the days counted to get into her doctor.

The earlier one can be treated for anything, the better! The longer one waits, the worse health can become
