A member asked:
What are the chances of me having endometriosis if it runs in my family going back 4 generations? i'm 29 about to be 30.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Painful periods : Endometriosis is not diagnosed by family history. If you have recurrent painful periods every month then you should be evaluated for this very common problem regardless of your familial history.
