shygal - hey there - personally i don't think it sounds like endo - that is more like the uterine lining backflowing into the tummy cavity and growing where it shouldn't - sometime lumps etc can occur whent he secretion glands become blocked - and they may become infected again nothing to worry about - a PAP smear - sounds much worse than it is - some people have a little disomfort afterwards but general its more embarassing having someone not your partner look at your bits...As to the bruising - that does sound a llittle concerning - good luck when you have it checked out...Sorry that probably doesn't answer your questions much...
