Signs of Endometriosis?

I am having a leparoscopy this month. Just wondering if these are signs of endometriosis- which is why they are going in there:

- For 4 years I have had random times (more common on period) where my cramps go to the extreme. To the point that I can't move, curled into a ball, dry heaving, cold sweats. The next day I can walk again but hunched over in pain and can't sit up or stand up straight. The day after that I can stand straighter but i still hurt.

-Random back cramps that can go to the extreme or light. I thought it was my kidneys but blood tests said they were fine.

- in an exam at my gyno- the finger one and pushing down on your pelvis- caused uncomfortabilty- not too much pain. but after i was a little sore.

- certain positions in intercourse causes sharp pains.

But I'm only 17. Am I too young to have it??? Any personal experience like this that turned out to be it?

the back pain worries me. I had endo and it ended up on my kidneys. A blood test shows nothing. They need to be doing ultrasounds, ct scans, and a renal scan to rule out any kidney issues. My left ureter became blocked due to endo and it had to come out.

You aren't too young to have it. It does sound a lot like endo. I was diagnosed when I was 20 or so. It can happen at any age post puberty. I opted to not have the procedure since I was in college and didn't have a doctor near by. I can say that birth control is a very effective treatment with endo. I tried a bunch until the depo shot and it helped my cramps so much since I didn't have a period. You can lead a very normal life with endo. It's not that bad once it's under control.

awe i'm so sorry for you being in so much pain! :(

well, it is possible. there are really no diseases that you must be a certain age to acquire. i would definitely make a doctor appointment sometime soon.

good luck!
