One of the questions we got was, what is the first sign of endometriosis? This varies a lot by the person. Most commonly, everybody I see tells me from my first period, I knew something was wrong, I knew something was different. So people who can't go to school or find that they have to go to the nurse's office during their period, that's not normal and is often the first sign of endometriosis. But of course, endometriosis is more than just period pain, and so A lot of our patients will say "I had a lot of pain trying to use tampons." "I had a lot of bladder symptoms" or "I had a lot of bowel symptoms and initially was diagnosed with IBS and then connected it to my periods." These are all different symptoms of endometriosis. And so, really seeing someone who can identify all of those things together and add them up to a cohesive diagnosis is the best approach.
