Is stomach pain a symptom of endometriosis?

Patient's question:

My mom always gets stomach pain ten days before her period, and it's extremely painful, extremely painful, to the point where painkillers can only slightly relieve it. But once her period starts, the pain disappears. She has been in pain for about 15 years and has taken many medications and seen many doctors. What kind of help she is looking for: She wants to know what specific disease she has and whether there is a treatment available.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in terms of the severity of dysmenorrhea, it cannot be ruled out that you may have endometriosis. You need to have your mother undergo two careful examinations: one is a gynecological ultrasound, and the other is a blood test for CA-125 and CA-199. Then, based on the results of these two examinations, we can determine how to proceed with the diagnosis of endometriosis. You should first undergo these two tests, and then I can help you review them. After that, we can consult an expert.
