Dealing with Stomach Issues and Heavy Periods

hey! I have been dealing with a lot of stomach issues recently that have been affecting my life a lot. Also my periods are usually 6-8 days long and EXTREMELY heavy. My cramps are usually pretty bad throughout my period but I also experience them when I'm not on my period. Endometriosis runs in my family and I am slightly worried that it may be my issue.

It’s worth getting checked. Also research Adenomyosis, it presents many of the same symptoms as endo but the cause of pain is different. Write up a list of worrisome symptoms, how many days a month it affects you, and any questions you have and schedule an appointment with a GYNO. :) If you can, try to find a gyno who has experience with endo. There is a lot of misinformation and malpractice in the medical field with endo, so you will save a lot of time by discussing with a doctor that’s seen it in their practice.
