I have had endometriosis for years. I am close to menopause (5 months without a period), I have had more stomach pain than usual. I was told by my dr that after menopause my endometriosis should get better or go away. I use to have pain a couple of times a month and lately it s been about every 5 - 10 days. Is this normal? Should I see my dr? Could it be something other than endometriosis?
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Considering the fact that you are almost into menopause, this pain suggests not mere endometriotic pain but something else also. A proper clinical evaluation by a physician in consultation with your gynecologist should be done to detect the source of the pain. An abdominal and pelvic sonogram will help further. Blood counts and urinalysis also should be done to exclude infection, either systemic or local. Further management can be planned accordingly. Antispasmodic may be used for temporary relief. Hope this helps.
