Endometriosis, Uterine Fibroids or Chocolate cyst...?

What is the difference between them and how do you know which one you have? My readings say that they can be easily missed through scans and ultrasounds. I am having an excruciating and decapitating pain in my lower back - right side during menses. It seems to be getting worse now. What's your opinion?

Could be an ovarian cyst. Don't know about feeling it in the back, though. The excruciating and incapacitating pain is familiar though.

Kidney problems are usually felt in the back, though, like kidney infections or kidney stones.

If your doctor is going to do a full panel of blood tests, ask that he do a fasting blood insulin. That will help rule out polycystic ovaries. If your results are 10, or more, you are likely hyperinsulinemic. Source(s): For basic information on hypoglycemia - one of the results of hyperinsulinemia, check out www.hufa.org.
