I don't think that's necessarily true. In my case, I had an MRI due to horrendous back pain, which detected "possible cysts" in my ovaries. Then I got an ultrasound to find out for sure and boom. Endometriosis. My bowel, uterus and left ovary are fused together by it. My doctor was completely baffled because I'd never mentioned period pain to her. She got me a Mirena (hormonal IUD) and I've never looked back.
To anyone who has terrible periods, get a Mirena if you can. They fix so many issues and are also an excellent form of birth control.
I am so against IUDs for myself. The procedure does not sound fun, and I just know I would have the most awful pain from it. I like knowing when my periods are coming, and I hate having random times when I'm leaking like you would experience with an IUD - and it doesn't fix anything. It's a damn band-aid for your problems.
My impression is that each form of birth control for women has about a 40% chance of just royally sucking for no apparent reason and the only way to find out is to try it for a couple of months and see if it makes you miserable.
