A member asked:

Is endometriosis dangerous for a 17 years old girl ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not dangerous: But certainly can cause bad cramps, intestinal issues. My #1 recommendation is to see a chinese medicine /acupuncture physician . Chinese medicine can reduce/eliminate her pain, balance hormones and help her body repair itself and eventually recover from the endometriosis.
