I had it so bad from the time I first got my period. I had 5 surgeries and was told to get a hysterectomy in my 20s which I did not do. I hoped I would be able to get pregnant, but never er could and did finally get the hysterectomy when I turned 42. Was the best thing I ever did. I would have to stay home from school or call out of work when I had my period because of the bleeding and pain. I found myself addicted to painkillers from taking them for so long. Endometriosis ruined almost 25 years of my life. You hardly ever hear anybody talk about it, I would tell people that I had it and most people never even knew what it was. I am so glad to finally see some info out there recently. I saw that there are trials for new medications being tested. I did that Lupron treatment, but that really did nothing to help except maybe made the regrowth of the endometriosis hold off for about a year, but that stuff you can only use once. And that means ONCE in a lifetime. I saw a few class action lawsuits about that Lupron so I doubt it's even used anymore.
So glad to see FINALLY some press being given to the disease like I said, it ruined my life and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who can say that about this terrible, painful, scary disease. My love to anyone out there who is suffering.

I'm 17 and I was diagnosed with endometriosis and they removed as much as possible that was there at the time. My OBGYN wasn't surprised in the least that I had it due to my mom and sister both having it. They did both types of ultrasounds and obviously found nothing which is normally the case. But they found it when they did the initial laparoscopy. I wish there was more awareness for this because some of the signs are so subtle that you might thinks it's just really bad period cramps. Even if you skip one month of your period you should go see an OBGYN or at the very least bring it up to your doctor. Because it could be something with hormones such as PCOS which unfortunately is also not talked about a lot either.

I have endometriosis, i just found out last yr n had surgery because i had an endometrioma 2 inches big on my right ovary. im glad more ppl are talking about this because my mom would always think i was just being lazy, she always said that she doesnt know why i would have strong cramps if she never did. Every month it would pain of migraines, cramps n lower back pain and just feeling tired. After dr told her all this she finally understood i was not faking it. thanks for making more ppl aware of this disease

I have endometriosis. I found out last November after being in the hospital cuz my mom though my appendix exploded. Turns out it didnt, i just had cramps. It sucks cuz I'm fifteen and should have a social life but I am wiped out in bed for a week+ every month and so I have to bail on people so often. Having a chronic illness (not just endometriosis) really sucks cuz people start to not believe your pain after a few months.

Thank you soooo much for making this video, I've had this since I was ten, my grandmother also had it and had a hysterectomy, so I'm a little worried that I'll have to have one, but thank you so much, I feel so great that this disease finally has some recognition and not just passed off as bad cramps.

Thank you for contributing to awareness. I have had endo since I was a teen, and ten years I'm still have the pain that comes with it. Pairing it with PCOS makes it that much worse. Nice for people to know it's not just regular period pain an Advil will fix

My mother has this and due to it gave birth to me at 38 years old, I have the possibility of getting it and I fear the thought of children. I could have problems with conceiving and I fear for that.

Endo growths is not the endometrium, the cells are different. Also, it would be best if you showed the growths as a full body disease and highlighted where they grow outside of reproductive organs.

glad to see this video. Endometriosis has been a daily struggle of mine for that past 6 years and it's often overlooked as women just being whiny when it's actually a very serious disease.

You should do a video on PCOS. 1 in 10 women have it as well and 50% don't know they have it. Without treatment it can cause diabetes, heart disease, and a whole slew of other problems.

Does Endometriosis have anything to do with having digestive problems within a week of you finishing menstruation because I have that problem but it only last about a day.

I don't have endometriosis, but I like that MsMojo is posting useful information about women's health problems. It's good for raising awareness.

Do PCOS! I've just been diagnosed, though I'm sure I've had it for years. It's estimated that 1 in 3 women have it.
