Yes, Jaynie, estrogen can cause pain in those who have endometriosis. The
estrogen acts like a food for it & makes it grow & cause severe pain! Tell
your Dr. Levy that & see what she says. I was told this by my gyn whom I
trust very much as he has been the only dr who told me I had endometriosis.
I didn't even know! The surgeon didn't even tell me. How's that for nerve!!
Best of luck to you. Karla B.
