Frequent Abdominal Pain? These Signs Could Point to Endometriosis

Symptoms

Here are the common signs of endometriosis:

  • Menstrual pain: Over time, the pain may gradually worsen or begin earlier than usual. Many women experience chronic pain, even between periods.
  • Bowel and bladder issues: These can include intestinal cramps, constipation, diarrhea, pain during urination, or increased frequency of urination.
  • Pain during intercourse: Endometriosis can cause deep abdominal pain during or after sex, as endometrial tissue may grow on the ovaries, between the rectum and uterus, or between the bladder and uterus.
  • Infertility: Endometriosis is responsible for infertility in three out of ten women who have difficulty conceiving.
  • Fatigue: A significant number of women with endometriosis also suffer from persistent fatigue.
  • Lower back pain: Abdominal pain can radiate to the lower back.
