Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows in other places outside the uterus. This misplaced tissue can cause a variety of symptoms,including:

• Painful periods: This is the most common symptom of endometriosis. The pain can be severe and may start a few days before your period begins.
• Pelvic pain: You may experience chronic pelvic pain that is not related to your menstrual cycle.
• Pain during sex: This is also a common symptom of endometriosis.
• Heavy bleeding: You may experience heavier bleeding than usual during your period.
• Infertility: Endometriosis can make it difficult to get pregnant.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor to get a diagnosis. Endometriosis can be a painful and debilitating condition, but there are treatments available that can help manage the symptoms.This is for informational purposes only.
