I had to have emergency total hysterectomy 1906. There was no information about endometriosis at that time. One day I started having severe abdominal pains, I went to the ER. Doctor in the ER said I was having a bladder infection, he wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. Advised me to go home and if the pain got worse to come back. I ended up going back the next evening. Luckily the dr on call a gynecologist ask me if it hurt to have sex, I said yes. He said they would prep me for surgery. If I needed a hysterectomy did I want total or partial. I said total. The next day he came in my hospital room and said if I had waited one more year I would have died. I had stage 4 endometriosis.
