Hi! My daughter has excruciating pain that radiates down to her legs & her lower back during the first days of her menstruation. This had started with light pain since 2 years ago so she thought it would be just period pains. She just had an ultrasound & all is fine. She is just 21 & I wondered if she could have endometriosis?

  • Good morning
    Normally by ultrasound you can see if there is endometriosis, otherwise I recommend an MRI to be absolutely certain (For more insidious cases)
