I have had endometriosis practically since I started my periods aged 9- after my son was born, it seemed to settle down bar the occasional reminder and a very bad year when I hit 40. I've noticed that the last few months that it appears to be rearing its head again- I've pain in my back passage , pressure on my cervix, and the familiar dragging pain in side along with prolonged and heavy bleeding. Just wondering if any other women have experienced a reactivation in the peri - I'd have thought that things should be improving as my oestrogen drops away but can only assume that I'm getting some big surges of the stuff amongst the hormonal fluctuations that have triggered this?
