Hi.
Thanks for your query.
''17 years'' is a big time to suffer in the present day of the best diagnostic tools and better understanding of the medical fields.
Read the list of investigations.
Endometriosis is one of the possibility. For this and other possible causes a diagnostic laparoscopy is the best option and many times helps the patients psychologically.
One of the most important causes is IBS / related to Psychiatric problem/ attention deficit and may be psychological trauma- The age at which this started is very typical - age of 14 as per your history.
As she is already under this treatment, the dosages may need alteration or need a second opinion of another Psychiatrist. Institutional treatment as well as Alternative Treatment modules like acupressure may help her a lot.
