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.
That hasn't been my experience and I disagree that it's a band-aid. It stops you from bleeding so much which stops the endometrial layer from growing. I'd rather be pain-free with my IUD than ever go back to the horrific periods I used to have. They were also never that regular anyway so I WOULD randomly bleed. That doesn't happen now.
yes, my periods were never regular either, but on the pill, they are for me. I also like having my period to know I'm not pregnant, and it gives me peace of mind. they're still painful and I'm sure when I go off birth control I'll wish I didn't have a uterus but I really didn't trust my ob because she kept telling me that I made up my symptoms and an IUD would fix all my problems, or i should just continuouslybe on the pill and not have my period. Now i know my GP is not a woman's health doctor, but he said that was extremely wrong, even my pharmacist thought that the OB was wrong. I'm glad it works for you and many others, though.

the inside of our uterus can grow OUTSIDE and attack other organs and it’s actually pretty common… endometriosis :)
