176 million women worldwide are
affected by Endometriosis. In recent
years, medical awareness and social
acceptance regarding Endometriosis
and its effects are growing, and more
and more women are taking action.
Let’s Discuss Endometriosis
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue, which is
normally found in the lining of the uterus, grows in other
parts of the body, namely the pelvis and reproductive
organs. The presence of endometrial tissue in these organs
can be associated with chronic pain, excessive bleeding
and infertility. Endometriosis symptoms occur because
endometrial tissue retains its function regardless of where
it is located in the body. This means that it responds to
hormonal changes and as a result can contract, bleed,
and affect adjacent organs. Endometriosis can at time be
symptomless, in those rare occasions patients would be
even harder to diagnose and treat.

Endometriosis Symptoms
Endometriosis symptoms may have a significantly
negative impact on quality of life. The symptoms may
include chronic pelvic pain, severe menstrual cramps,
pain during intercourse or bowel movements, and rectal
lower abdominal pain. Some women with endometriosis
may also experience abnormal bleeding, including
blood in the stool or urine, bleeding after intercourse,
or vaginal bleeding that occurs outside of a normal
menstrual period. Symptoms of pain and bleeding
typically increase just before the start of menstruation
and resolve as menstruation ends.
