Endometriosis...?!

Endometriosis...?

I previously posted a question about endometriosis and going to my doctor, i didn't think she would take me seriously.

She didn't, she said i was too young and as im not actively trying for a baby there is nothing she could do if i had endo so there isn't any point in trying to find out if i have it.

I've read that endo gets worse with age, so isn't it better if i find out now?

She didn't even let me tell her my symptoms... (which include all the typical endo symptoms painful sex, bad period pains and female relative has endo etc)

I am in the process of changing my doctor anyway, how can i get across to my new doctor that this is a serious worry, and despite my age i would like to take it further and find out if i do have endo...

Any answers welcome

I think I may have posted on your last question, but you should seriously think about seeing a reproductive endocrinologist. They specialize in this type of thing and they WILL take you seriously! I've moved several times recently and have NEVER had a doctor not take me seriously, so you unfortunately just found the one bad apple in the bunch.
She obviously doesn't know what she's talking about because there are plenty of treatment options for endo without you trying to get pregnant.
There's BCP's - they regulate your periods and diminish pain. You could try Meclomen, it's an NSAID like Aleve or Advil but it works in an extra way - it reduces your flow. Less flow means less pain. There's progesterone, she can send you to a dietician for a special diet/exercise plan that'll help.
Lupron will basically shock your body into shrinking the cells until they disappear.
Thre are TONS of options on top of a laparoscopy which will allow the doctor to burn/cut out the cells. Cutting is more effective than burning them out. I'm having my second laparoscopy next week. You shouldn't listen to this doctor.
My local newspaper has what's called 'the best of the best' or 'doctor's choice' you could see if your local paper rates doctors. That's how I found my last doctor and I'm so glad I did! Good luck!
