question? are these endometriosis symptoms
Foxbody:
I think you probably need to be prepared with some answers. Having ready answers to these will help you feel more in control at your appointment. At least, having a good feel for what has gone on with my body has really relaxed me and helped me have a good appointment with my doctor. The one time I went in with "I don't know, just fix it!!", I started to cry.
So, for your peace of mind, think about the following:
Where are you bleeding from?
How much?
How often?
Color?
Anything make it worse, better, stop, start?
Changes in diet? Medications? Exercise or activity?
Any other related symptoms?
Quality of life: poor, limited, average, good, excellent .. in other words, is this stopping you from living your life normally?
Any known allergies?
Bowel changes?
Urinary changes?
Pain with intercourse?
Mood changes?
Hope this helps!! Any questions that you have for the doc, write down and take the list with you.
Take care and do keep us posted!!!!
