Question:
What are the signs of endometriosis?
Answer:
The most common sign of endometriosis
is painful periods or intercourse.
Though some women with endo have
no signs at all. Additionally, the
amount of pain associated with the
disease is not related to the extent
or size of the endometriosis implants.
Some signs
that may lead you to suspect endometriosis
include the following: chronic or
intermittent pelvic pain, painful
menstruation, dyspareunia, pain
after intercourse, infertility,
miscarriage(s), ectopic (tubal)
pregnancy, backache, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal cramping, diarrhea, constipation,
painful bowel movements, blood in
stool or urine, rectal bleeding,
tenderness around the kidneys, painful
or burning urination. Fatigue, chronic
pain, and allergies and other immune
system-related problems are also
commonly reported complaints of
women who have endometriosis.
