We challenge the myth that teens are “too young” for endometriosis and show how to spot red flags that go far beyond “normal cramps.” Dr. Megan Wasson shares clear signs, family dynamics that normalize pain, and steps to get answers sooner.

• redefining normal: pain as more than an inconvenience
• family patterns that normalize severe period pain
• the pediatrician pitfall: quick dismissal without probing
• functional impact: missed school, sports, and social life
• pain outside bleeding days as a key clue
• GI symptoms that flare around menses
• practical steps: symptom tracking and focused questions
• when to escalate: specialists, imaging, and tailored care
