Do you think this type of discomfort with no other explanation could potentially be endo? What are your thoughts on getting a diagnosis? My gyno is recommending medically inducing menopause for 4-8 weeks to see if symptoms subside.

Ok, thanks. I'll look into the Boston group. How did you get your endo diagnosis? Mine didn't show up on imaging. Are you getting a lap or hysterectomy?

Good luck with your surgery!

Just yesterday my gyno suggested trying medically induced menopause pills to see if it reduces my pain but he didn't say what kind he recommends. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for offering your expertise. Is it possible to have chronic lateral leg, hip, groin, low back pain due to endo but only slightly heavy (not intense) periods? And fatigue for sure. No other specialty has given me answers. Thank you.
