3. Do you have pain during or after penetrative sex?
4. During your periods, do you have pain from urination or bowel movements?
5. Do your periods often last long (>7 days) with very heavy bleeding?
6. Are your menstrual periods often shorter than “normal” (<28 days)?
7. Did you have your first period before the age of 11?
8. Have you suffered other severe symptoms of hormonal imbalance?
9. Do you have a mother or sister who has Endometriosis?
10. Have you tried without success to become pregnant?
