I have always suffered from horrible monthly periods and cysts resulting in numerous ultra sounds & tests since the time I was 12 years old. So after five years of marriage, using no contraceptives & zero pregnancies, my husband and I decided it was time to seek a more in depth medical evaluation of my situation. I currently had a 9cm cyst on my ovary that kept growing, so I opted to undergo a laparoscopic procedure to remove it. When I woke up in recovery, my questions had been answered. I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis which was a relief in a sense to finally know, but unfortunately, endometriosis can only be diagnosed through having an actual surgery and many women go un-diagnosed.
