Default Has anyone on here heard of Endometriosis?

Okay, if there is a doctor on here and happens to read this. Please tell me if I should go get checked out for this. I just found out from my grandmother on my father's side that all the women on that side of my family has had this and do have this. which means my grandmother and my aunts all had this, and got it removed. well got something that removed their uterus. and both my cousins on my fathers side have this. and I am just now finding out about this and am curious if I may too have this? Should I go get checked out to make sure? what are some symptoms of this? what does it look like? How would I know if I do have it or if I should go to the doctor? Please help me as it is not worrying me too much. I am just curious.

Endomitriosis is when part of your endomitium (the lining in your uterus that gets sluffed off during your period) gets into your body cavity. It can cause problems with fertility and really painful cramps. Here's a link that will tell you all about symptoms and treatments

Good luck!
