How to get endometriosis diagnosis?
I'm pretty sure I have endometriosis or a similar condition. My doctor says that everything I'm experiencing is normal, but I don't feel like it is. I’ve read the symptoms: painful periods, pain with sex, fatigue, bloating, nausea. That’s me. How can I advocate for my doctor to take me seriously and investigate if I have endometriosis?
Sorry to hear you're going through this. While I do not experience these symptoms, I will say what has worked for me in other cases is doing research. Go down that rabbit hole. Come up with a list of questions and suggest the options of what you think the diagnoses may be from this research, even if it could be wrong. I find my most productive appointments are ones where I come prepared and get through my questions list to rule anything out.
