 Symptoms of Endo vs PCOS
I have PCOS (diagnosed March 2008), but I also have had symptoms that could also be indicative of Endo. My doctor wanted to wait a few more months to see if the Metformin worked before checking out the latter.
What I am wondering is what symptoms of Endometriosis don't normally occur with PCOS?
My symptoms (I haven't had AF since January so some don't apply right now):
Pre-AF spotting (3-7 days)
Post-AF spotting (3-7 days)
Cramping throughout abdomen during entire cycle
Periods were getting gradually more painful until they stopped
(Sorry-TMI):
Deep pain by ovaries (sometimes wraps around back) while going to the bathroom at times
Constipation
Before ever being pregnant, periods were so bad that I had to lay curled up in the hot bathtub for hours, but they haven't reached that level yet |
