I go to my gyn in two weeks. i'm wondering how she'll begin testing for endometriosis? what are the possible tests? my pain is unbelievably bad.

History and exam: Most often the diagnosis of endometriosis is made empirically -- meaning simply by taking a careful patient history and doing an examination. The only to make the diagnosis 100% is surgically. In most cases treatment can be offered based on a history and physical.
