A member asked:

Intense kidney pain and stabbing pain in left chest btw ribs, armpit, and left thigh near groin. ekg fine, said endometriosis could be cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diagnosis needed: Pain is the main symptom in endometriosis. A cyclic pattern related to the menstrual cycle is common. The diagnosis is not made by blood tests or ultrasound. Instead, a diagnostic laparoscopy is needed and biopsy or removal of suspicious lesions.
