Hey, I need some advice. I have endometriosis and it makes my periods unbearable, to the point where I cannot attend school during my periods. Does anyone know how I could ease the pain? Thanks!

Birth control might help. Have you talked to your doctor about options?

I would also suggest talking to your doctor. S/He is going to know all your options.

I had a friend that found a hot water bottle or heated pad helped, i think she did eventually go onto the mini pill/single hormone bc pill. I have also heard that some gentle exercises can help so again i'd ask you doctor or specialist for advise. Also asking the school nurse for advise may go in your favour as it will help with the schools understanding of you time off. Perhaps another avenue would be to see it there is a specific online help group and or forum for woman who suffer from the condiction, as i believe it's actually quite a common problem. I hope you find something to help ease your discomfort big hug

They can give you birth control pills or remove the inside lining of the uterus --you need to talk to you gyn about this matter.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
