Q: If you're concerned that you might have endometriosis, talk to your primary care physician or gynecologist about it. They may be able to come up with some treatment options based on your symptoms. If you've made symptom charts or otherwise kept track of your periods and the symptoms that accompany them, show your records to your doctor. That can help them get a better understanding of what you're experiencing. Take all symptoms seriously. Relatively mild symptoms don't necessarily equate to a mild case of endometriosis. The severity of your symptoms depends on where the uterine tissue is growing and how it affects the rest of your bodily functions. When you express concerns that you might have endometriosis, the first thing your doctor will probably do is conduct a pelvic exam. They will feel various areas in and around your pelvis for abnormalities, including cysts or scars, that may be evidence of endometriosis. If your problems have developed recently, your doctor may not be able to determine if you have endometriosis based on a pelvic exam alone. It's difficult to feel small amounts of uterine tissue growing outside the uterus unless they've caused a cyst to form. Ultrasounds and MRIs create images inside your body to see where your doctor can't. Using these detailed images, your doctor can identify cysts associated with endometriosis. They'll also be able to pinpoint the size and location of uterine tissue growing outside the uterus. Based on these images, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove abnormal growths of tissue. They may also want to test these growths for the possibility of cancer. An MRI can accurately detect up to 95% of cases of endometriosis. A laparoscopy is minor surgery that can definitively diagnose endometriosis. Because there's no specific cure for endometriosis, this procedure may not be necessary unless your condition is advanced. During a laparoscopy, your surgeon will look for signs of endometriosis such as red, blue, whitish, or yellowish-brown discolorations and raised areas. To have a laparoscopy, you'll typically be placed under general anesthesia. The surgeon inserts a slender instrument through an incision near your navel to look for signs of endometrial tissue throughout your reproductive organs. You may be a good candidate for a laparoscopy if you have persistent pelvic pain that doesn't respond to medical treatments or if your symptoms are severe enough to interfere with your ability to function. This surgery can also treat some of the anatomical changes that sometimes come with endometriosis, such as lesions in the bladder. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) are often the first form of treatment that doctors will recommend for mild cases of endometriosis. These medications may help control your pain and inflammation. Common over-the-counter NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Aleve). Ask your doctor if NSAIDs are a good option for you. You should not take NSAIDs if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. If NSAIDs aren't enough to control your symptoms, your doctor may recommend taking them in combination with another type of treatment, such as hormone therapy. Hormonal contraception helps control the hormones responsible for growing your uterine tissue, and can also reduce your menstrual flow. Contraception can also ease the pain you experience with your periods each month. Progestin therapy can stop menstruation entirely, thus eliminating the growth of uterine tissue and reducing or eliminating symptoms of endometriosis. Other therapy, including aromatase inhibitors that reduce the amount of estrogen in your body, may also be prescribed by your doctor to help relieve symptoms of endometriosis. If contraception doesn't relieve your symptoms, you can have surgery to remove the uterine tissue growing outside your uterus. Because this more conservative option preserves your uterus, it may help you if you're still planning on getting pregnant. If you only have the abnormal uterine tissue removed, your endometriosis may return. The only way to guarantee that you will never have any problems in the future with endometriosis is to have a full hysterectomy removing the uterus and ovaries. However, after this, you wouldn't be able to become pregnant.
A: Tell your doctor about your symptoms. Get a pelvic exam. Request an ultrasound or MRI if the pelvic exam is not conclusive. Have a laparoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. Take non-steroidal anti-inflammatories for mild endometriosis. Try birth control or hormone therapy to reduce your pain. Consider surgical options if your condition does not improve.

Q: When you're getting ready for bed, it's best to keep the lights around you as dim as possible in the hour before you go to bed. Lights tell you to wake up, the opposite of what you want your body to do. Similarly, when you wake up to use the bathroom at night, keep the lights off if possible. If you're like many people, you likely play on your phone or watch television right before bed. However, the light from these devices can be particularly bad for sleep. They can have a disrupting effect on your sleep cycle, making it difficult for you to fall or stay asleep. Turn these devices off at least an hour before bed. If you're not sleepy when you go to bed, you may have trouble falling asleep. If you fall asleep, you may have trouble staying asleep. Try a quiet activity to get you in the mood for sleep before you need to go to bed. For instance, you could try reading a book or meditating. While most over-the-counter sleep aids don't help much with staying asleep, some natural sleep supplements may be beneficial. Melatonin is a hormone that may help regulate your sleep schedule. Another supplement, valerian, is an herb that may help you fall and stay asleep. Always talk to your doctor before taking any supplements. A higher dose of an over-the-counter sleep aid is not always more effective than a lower dose, even though the supplements are sold in high and low doses. A sustained-release melatonin usually allows you to stay asleep longer.
A:
Lower the lights in the house before bed. Turn off your electronics an hour before bed. Go to bed when you're actually sleepy. Try a sleep supplement.
