A member asked:

Hi, i have had bad pelvic pain for 7 months and have always had extremely painful periods. i had a blood test and my ca 125 came back as 36 u/ml. is it possible for me to have endometriosis or something else even though my ca 125 isn't very high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You definitely could have endometriosis if periods are so painful, yes. The definitive way to know about endometriosis is a laparoscopic evaluation to look for it, but many Gyn Drs will try treatment with NSAIDS (ibuprofen, naproxen) or oral contraceptive pills 1st to see if that helps
