hi i found this piece of info it may help you. endometriosis is a long-term (chronic) condition that causes painful or heavy periods. it often causes pain in the lower abdomen (tummy) pelvis or lower back. it may also lead to lack of energy depression and fertility problems. however the symptoms of endometriosis can vary and some women have few symptoms or no symptoms at all. if your gp suspects that you have endometriosis they will refer you to a gynaecologist (specialist in the female reproductive system). the gynaecologist may carry out an examination of your fallopian tubes ovaries and womb known as a laparoscopy to check for patches of endometriosis. do hope this helps you. good luck
period after lifting. i am 25. my last pap was 2 years ago it was normal. the past 2 months i have done moderate lifting. every time i lift something my period starts instantly and lasts about a week. my period is bright red with an odor. i have a pain that feels like pressure on my uterus. i am not pregnant. i am moderately active. i jog 2 miles a day and on my feet 6hours a day. i only bleed when i lift something. both my grandma and aunt have had hysterectomies in their early 30s due to endometriosis.
