What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue that normally exists only inside the uterus begins to grow outside of it. This tissue, called endometrial tissue, reacts to hormonal changes in the same way as the tissue inside the uterus. This can lead to inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue.

Symptoms of endometriosis

Symptoms of endometriosis can vary from person to person, but some common symptoms include:

  • Pain: Pain is a predominant symptom of endometriosis. It can be chronic and intense, occurring in the pelvic area, lower abdomen, and sometimes in the back.
  • Menstruation-Related Pain: Many women with endometriosis experience increased pain during menstruation.
  • Pain during sexual activity: Pain can occur during or after sexual activity.
  • Intestinal function issues: Endometriosis can affect the intestines, causing issues such as diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain.
  • Fertility problems: Endometriosis can also be associated with difficulties in becoming pregnant.

How Does endometriosis pain feel?

The pain of endometriosis can be diverse, described as sharp, stabbing, cramp-like, or dull. It can impact daily activities and quality of life.

Questions and answers

Common symptoms include severe pelvic pain, intense menstrual cramps, pain during intercourse, bowel issues, and challenges with fertility.

While the exact cause is unknown, leading theories include retrograde menstruation (menstrual blood flowing backward), genetics, immune system issues, or transport of cells through the blood and lymphatic systems.

Treatment is personalized and may include hormonal regulation (e.g., birth control), surgery (laparoscopy) to remove lesions, and multidisciplinary pain management such as physiotherapy.
