often go behind the vagina and in front of the rectum, which is exactly where a penis puts pressure during sex. If deep penetration or any specific positions are painful for you, get checked out. 6. As much as forty percent of unexplained infertility is from endometriosis. If you've been trying to get pregnant but can't, and your doctor can't give you a reason (commonly referred to as "unexplained infertility"), it's very possible that the problem is endometriosis. 7. If anti-inflammatories (Motrin, Advil, etc.) and birth control pills stop relieving your cramps, ask your gynecologist about a laparoscopy. Gynecologists will usually suggest anti-inflammatories and birth control pills to treat bad cramps first, but if those stop working for you over time, you may need a laparoscopy. This is an outpatient procedure where she'll put a small camera in through your belly button to look for endometriosis. 8. If you have endometriosis, your gynecologist should treat it at the same time she diagnoses it. Doctors use a laparoscopy to diagnose endometriosis, but endometriosis specialists can also "excise" (remove) it during the same surgery. Ask if your doctor is trained to do an "excision of endometriosis," not just perform a "diagnostic laparoscopy." It will save you time and the stress of a potential second surgery. 9. Don't settle for medication. If you do get diagnosed with endometriosis, excision WOMEN via a laparoscopy is the best option for treatment. Many doctors will prescribe a medication (which is FDA-approved) for treatment, but it only temporarily treats the symptoms by putting you in a temporary menopausal state, and there are a lot of side effects. Most insurance covers laparoscopy, so treat it right the first time. 10. Even semi-bad cramps can be a problem. Some women have no pain at all with endometriosis; some have excruciating pain. If your cramps aren't awful but have gotten worse over the years, it's worth checking in with your doctor. Why suffer through unnecessary pain?
