mean extremely sharp pain on my right

How your endometriosis was diagnosed was
not indicated. Endometriosis is usually
detected with an ultrasound but it can be
proven only with a laparoscopy with biopsy
which is the only secure method.
Pain during the menstruation
(dysmenorrhea) is the most common symptom
of endometriosis. Pain, during and after
sex, is also possible, but not so common
as dysmenorrhea.
You should consult your gynecologist about
this.
