Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by : Could this be endometriosis?
My mother has endometriosis, and I’m worried that I could have it too. I’m 14, and I know it usually occurs in older women but i’m still concerned. These are some of the symptoms I have..
- When I wake up in the morning I sometime get really bad pains, almost like period pains but so bad that I don’t want to move or breath because of it. Sometimes I feel like I can’t get out of bed. This happens when I haven’t even got my period at all. It’s definately not hunger pangs.
- I feel tired almost all of the time, but not tired like sleepy but more exhausted and weary.
- It also seems like I have Irritable bowel syndrome, which I think can be associated with endometriosis.
- I have really irregular periods. About 2 years ago I started my periods, didn’t get another until January or February this year. I don’t know if this has anything at all to do with it though. I’m a healthy weight and I don’t do too much exercise either.
- I used to get sharp pains in my back, but near my shoulders not lower back. I haven’t had any recently though so I don’t think it’s anything to do with it.
Do you think there’s a chance that I have it? I’m really nervous, I’ve told my mum but we haven’t talked about seeing a doctor yet.

Yes it could be possible I know a couple girls 16 & 18 that had it, you should be checked it can be very dangerous if not diagnosed.
