Question 1

random gagging in the mornings shortly after i wake up? not pregnant, have endometriosis and on birth control.

Accepted Answer

Gagging in AM: Would still check HCG . Also consider reflux, elevated head of bed with pillow under mattress( under your head it moves) . Try prevecid or aciphex/ ranitidine. May also be post nasal drip for which head  elevation helps add 1 zyrtec at bedtime. Check for allergies  food and environmental as triggers. if had recent surgery / intubation can be effects  of surgery., f/u/ w/ doc and allergist

Question 2

could endometriosis cause 17 day period and heavy flow at night as well as extreme pain at night?

Accepted Answer

Endometriosis pain ?: Endometriosis can cause pelvic pain with menstruation, but heavy flow for "17 days" does not come from endometriosis. If pregnancy is possible, obtain a serum HCG test, and if positive , see your gyn immediately, as a pregnancy outside the uterus (ectopic) can certainly cause this kind of bleeding. If negative, schedule an exam with your gyn for additional testing.

Question 3

day after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis and i feel weak and shaking and fever at night of 99.8 is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Call surgeon: The fact you are weak and "shaky" makes me most concerned. The temp of 99.8 is very low grade and not a panic value at this time. However, all of these symptoms together certainly warrant a call to the doctor who did the surgery as they know your case best and can further advise you.

Question 4

i have endometriosis and after a night of drinking i bleed, is it because of my endo or something worse?

Accepted Answer

: I cannot link a bout of drinking with any vaginal bleeding. I would look to a different reason &amp; that is not obvious from the information posted.

Question 5

can endometriosis cause frequent night time urination? or be a side effect of endo?

Accepted Answer

R/o UTI: Please make sure you dont have what we call asymtomatic bacteriurea. See a doctor and get a urine culture first if negative then you may worry about other things.

Question 6

i have endometriosis and after i have a night of drinking, i experience light vaginal bleeding. is it because of my endo or should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

: I would not blame all the symptoms to endometriosis and alcohol intake although spotting is a symptom of endometriosis. See your GYN doctor if spotting recurs within a short time and the pattern seems abnormal to you from past experience.

Question 7

i had unprotected sex last night (and he pulled out.) i noticed tonight, i feel very crampy in my pelvic area. i have endometriosis. any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Likely not related : But if you have concern, like I do, for pregnancy you need Plan B. All the best.

Question 8

today is monday and i had an endometriosis biopsy done on friday. i had cramping on tjat day and was fine over the weekend ubtil lasdt night i started to bleed and today it's clumps of blood coming out and im constantly peeing. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: What you described is not normal, unless the bleeding you are experiencing is you normal period. It would prudent to consult your doctor.

Question 9

is endometriosis hereditary

Accepted Answer

Yes sometimes: I have definitely had patients who have siblings and mothers, and even maternal grandmothers, all in the same family, with endometriosis.  While it's not a given that if your mother had endometriosis, you will have it; if she had it, it likely puts you at slightly increased risk of having it.

Question 10

can endometriosis be cured?

Accepted Answer

No: Can be treated and managed.
