Girlfriend has Endometriosis... What to do??

Hey everyone. I haven't been here in a while, sorry, I've been really busy with school and everything... but I'm back again! haha

Okay so, more of a serious question this time...

My girlfriend and I haven't had sex now since January, and we've found out why... We stopped because it was hurting her so much, that she just can't deal with the pain at all... It turns out, she has Endometriosis... So now I ask, what can be done? She is already on b/c pills to help with the pain, and it does nothing, and she's too afraid to get surgery. This is pretty much destroying our intimate life. We can now no longer have sex at all... and she's constantly in pain... Does anyone have any experience with this, and how to deal with it? I just would love some advice with this... thanks a lot everyone.

 

if shes in constant pain she needs tot ry teh surgery. i know lots of folks with endo who have healthy sex lives but theyre fairly mild cases and theyre on bc continuously so they dont get their period to aggravate the endo. all you can really do is be supportive, help try and find alternative methods and maybe talk her through her concerns about the surgery. try asking abou this in the womens centre there are a few threads about endo in there
