A member asked:

How common are endometriosis and adenomyosis and would they be seen on a pelvic ultrasound? what are the symptoms? i have very painful periods, need hot water bottle every month and cant go to work for 1 day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're a little young for presence of adenomyosis. Painful periods can occur monthly without the presence of endometriosis but it can be a cause. An ultrasound can only demonstrate endometriosis if there are large clumps of it. Adenomyosis may or may not show up on ultrasound. Your gynecologist can advise you best.

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?
