I got my period today and am experiencing a lot of bleeding, going through a tampon an hour with leakage through a pad. I have diarrhea, severe stomach pain, cramps, nausea, and fatigue. I'm concerned and unsure if it's severe enough to go to the doctor or the emergency room. I suspect I have endometriosis but haven't been checked due to fear of surgery. My last period was June 20, lasting 4 days, and before that, June 9, lasting 6 days. I've taken Tylenol as directed and am 26 years old. I was on the depo shot from age 17-25 and then a pill for 6 months, off birth control for about 6 months. I had a sexual encounter about 3 weeks ago. Are the symptoms severe enough to warrant a visit to the ER or should I schedule a doctor's appointment?
