Can T and amenorrhea affect endometriosis diagnosis?

It's come to my attention that when I was menstruating and I had the symptoms of endometriosis; extremely painful cramps, pain and spotting during intercourse (even after menstruation stopped on T) and when menstruating I would have contstipation and a strange, intense pain when trying to deficate (go #2) that was distinctly different from my usual constipation pain.

I've been on T now for over four years. On the few occassions I've gone off T and my periods resumed, the symptoms returned. As long as I'm not going through the cycle, I'm fine. Even if the symptoms are managed on T, I still want to know whether or not I have it; not just to be knowledgable about what's going on with my body, but also a diagnosis could speed up approval for a hysto with my insurance.

Since I'm on T and have not menstruated in over a year, would endometriosis still be detectable if my body appears to not be producing endometrium?

I am making a doctor's appointment regardless, but I would love any information and advice to help me put together my list of questions for the doctor.

Thank you for your time,

Sam aka Sasquatch
