A member asked:

Are there any gastrointestinal problems that are verg very similar to the same symptoms as endometriosis of the ovaries?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Multiple issues: best defined by a laparoscopy. I suggest GYN and GI consultations, imaging and blood testing.

Absolutely: These two are often difficult to sort out in women, though endometriosis pain is more likely to be related to the menstrual cycle. Good wishes.
