Endometriosis can’t kill you, so there’s no reason to be scared. Many women have it and live perfectly normal lives. Common treatments include use of birth control and laparoscopy to remove endometrosis lesions, though they can grow back.

Question by : Tell me, is your life harder than mine?
Before you answer this, think really deep, and I don’t want you to answer if you hurt yourself intentionally like cutting yourself.

I am Robert. I am 14 and was born February 11, 1995. I currently live in Bradenton,FL. I am in high school, to be exact, the 9th grade; a freshman. My life is revolving around many issues that sit on a balance between Life, Death, and Confusion. Let me start with my health issues so you can understand the detail of me. I have IBS, Irritable bowel syndrome. Feel free to open a new tab up and search it on Google. If your read the IBS article posted by Google health, it shows the symptoms of it and what happens. I feel very stressful everyday. I get to the point where I just want to quit on life. If you read my questions (please read them before answering), I have more than those problems. Sadly, I have no one to go to. Ever. I’ve never had a real friend but one, and he fights for America in Afghanistan. I can’t reveal anything about who he is, but let me tell you something, and please anti-war believers, shut you damn mouth before you talk about who gives you freedom because you surely sit around not doing anything while enjoying your life with no worries. Anyway, trust me when I say life gets even more depressing when you have IBS, a close friend who can lose his life anytime any day, family issues, life or death, or making friends. I have no one to talk to about this and so I think you should tell me, was your life harder than mine? People just come up to me everyday saying I don’t do anything for them and that makes me sick because I always buy things for people. And most of the time, people pick on me in Marching Band personally. Like I said, my life is very complicated. I’ve already missed 15 school days, I was hospitalized, and oh hell believe me when I say the world is a messed up place. I’m sorry if I didn’t go into too much detail.

Question by : Could This Be A Sign That I Don’t Drink Enough Water?
I use to drink water a lot but lately not as much but still I drink water daily.

For about seven months I’ve had Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) which is a digestive problem where my stomach tends to make loud noises and contractions after eating. I started having this one problem though and it didn’t seem like it would be a symptom of my IBS. Here is the detail:

It is typically after I drink a small amount of water. I can literally feel the water in my stomach. I can feel it when I move and everything. Sometimes out of no where my stomach will make this noise and this weird vibrating feeling. Think of a water bottle filled with water and when you take the lid off and turn it over. You know how the water comes out and air bubbles float to the top and make a flapping kind of noise? That is not only how it sounds, that is how it feels. My stomach literally feels and sounds like a water bottle being turned upside down. When ever I drink a large amount of water, my stomach will have the feeling but not make the sound.

I really don’t know what to think of this. It doesn’t really seem like a symptom of my IBS. Since it changes when I drink larger amounts of water, I started thinking that maybe it’s a sign of dehydration.

Please help, thanks.

Question by : Blood in my stool? Serious?
Last week I went to see a specialist in colon and rectum because I was experiencing discomfort in my rectum and lower abdominal area. I would get stomach pain on my lower right abdominal every time i eat something or whenever I wake up in the morning. Also whenever my bowels are full, i feel a massive pain in my rectum or colon. The doctor did some tests on my rectum and said everything was fine, but that she thinks I have an Irritable Bowel Syndrome, anyway today when I emptied my bowel, I’ve noticed bright red blood in my stool (diarrhea). Is this part of the symptom of IBS? I’m afraid that it could be cancer.

Of course, you would. The doctor has no idea what she’s doing or anything else. It could be something as inane as a hemorrhoid. Call your doctor and ask what she wants to do.

Question by : Pain in my right side? (female) help?
So today i have been having a pain in my lower right abdomen. I’m not sure what it is but it kind of is freaking me out lol It’s just like a pain when your muscle has been over worked like in your legs, but i haven’t worked out that part of my body in a few days. Yesterday i worked out my legs for about an hour, but i don’t see how that would effect my stomach. And today and yesterday I have been having a little bit of mucus in my stools which is a symptom of IBS, and i have this symptom from time to time but not often. I’m pretty sure i have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) so could that be the cause? Any ideas?

Additional Details: 19 years old, female, generally healthy overall 5′6 130lbs
It isn’t a severe pain, it’s dull and achy like when your muscle is pulled and it only hurts if i move a certain way or use my abdominal muscles to get up.
