DONT FREAK OUT. This is a somewhat common disease in women, and it's not as scary as it sounds.

Learn absolutely everything you can about Endometriosis, get yourself a good gynaecologist who will listen to you...also try different techniques to deal with the symptoms. I eat cannabis for Endometriosis, as well as my other conditions. It's a lifesaver.

Make sure you are in communication with your physician. It is important to watch the disorder in case the pain gets worse. Otherwise, pain management is the main thing to try to do. If OTC pain relievers, heat, etc. are not working talk to your doctor.

That report before making decisions, that no doctor has the last word but one and the same. That you reports from the after-effects of the medications.

Do not despair. Endometriosis scared very much, but there are more people in this situation and that can help. Try to have a follow-up of multidisciplinary health care, with gynecologists, psychologists, nutritionists, etc. Look for support groups. There are many on the internet, who are serious and are available for the exchange of information and concerns.
