19F.
I got my first period at 13 and have always had relatively heavy periods. They seemed manageable for several years, but over the last 3 years my symptoms have become significantly worse.
Current symptoms:
Severe menstrual cramps
Heavy menstrual bleeding
Large blood clots during periods
Shooting pelvic and rectal/butt pain
Lower back pain during periods
Nausea during periods
Bloating
Extreme fatigue
Loss of appetite during periods
Iron deficiency/anemia
I’ve also developed significant constipation. It occurs almost every period and also around 5-6 times per month outside of my period. I eat a high-fibre diet and drink plenty of water, but it doesn’t seem to help much. It can happen randomly, although I’ve noticed refined wheat flour/maida sometimes seems to trigger it.
The heavy periods have been present since menarche, but the bowel symptoms, shooting pain, fatigue, and worsening cramps have mainly developed over the last few years.

Also had anemia for quite some time now and when I had anemia my periods were light, but the cramps and rectal shooting pain and all the classic symptoms were there. I got an iron infusion last year and since then my periods have been very heavy. I also suspect i’m anemic again.

I have not yet been evaluated by a gynecologist. Based on this symptom pattern, would endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, or another condition be worth investigating? Are there any specific tests I should ask about?
Thank you.

I’m 19 and wondering if anyone with endo had a similar experience.

I got my first period at 13 and they were always pretty heavy, but they seemed manageable for a while. Over the last 3 years though, things have become unbearable and I’ve started getting a lot of other symptoms too.

My symptoms:
Terrible period cramps
Heavy bleeding
Large clots
Shooting pelvic and bum/rectal pain
Lower back pain
Nausea
Bloating
Extreme fatigue
No appetite when I’m on my period
Iron deficiency/anemia
Terrible constipation

I’ve also been having a lot of bowel issues. Constipation is really bad and happens almost every time I’m on my period, but also around 5–6 times a month even when I’m not on my period. I eat a high-fibre diet and try to stay hydrated, but nothing seems to make much of a difference. I’ve noticed it can happen completely randomly, but it also seems to be triggered by refined wheat flour/maida sometimes.
The bowel symptoms, bloating, and shooting rectal/pelvic pain are what made me start looking into endometriosis. The heavy bleeding and anemia also make me wonder about adenomyosis.
Part of why I’m posting is that my parents don’t really think anything is wrong. They think I’m just lazy, unfit, or need to start running/exercising more. It’s honestly made me question myself sometimes, but having large clots, being iron deficient, getting severe pain, and feeling exhausted all the time doesn’t feel normal to me.
Did anyone else’s symptoms start out as just heavy periods and then gradually progress into severe pain, bowel issues, fatigue, etc.? Does this sound familiar to anyone who ended up being diagnosed with endo or adenomyosis?
I’m planning to see a gynecologist, but I’d really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences.
