Endometriosis Symptoms
The most common symptom associated with endometriosis is pelvic
pain, not unlike that of a woman's monthly period. These symptoms can
vary among women with some women experiencing little to no pain and
others experiencing severe pain.
There also doesn't appear to be a correlation between the amount of pain
a woman experiences and the amount of endometriosis in her body.
Women with large amounts of endometriosis may have few symptoms
while those with small areas of endometriosis have severe pain.
The symptoms of endometriosis usually occur around the time of
menstruation, but some women find that they have constant pain no
matter the time of the month.
Another symptom of endometriosis is pain during or after sex. For many
women this pain leads them to quit having sex and in some cases the
pain can be so great that intercourse is impossible.
Dysmenorrhea Painful menstrual periods is a symptom of endometriosis
in which a deep pain occurs in the lower abdomen and vagina. This
condition does not affect all women with endometriosis though.
Endometriosis can become attached to non-reproductive organs as well.
When this happens different symptoms can occur. If endometriosis
attaches to the large intestine or bladder abdominal swelling can occur,
along with painful bowel movements or painful urination. These woman
can also experience bleeding from the rectum during menstruation and
nausea or vomiting before their period.
Each month during a woman's cycle this endometrial tissue builds up a
lining of blood and nutrients just like the tissue of the uterus. And every
month during a woman's period this build up is shed. The blood and tissue
shed from the endometrial cells has no place to go and remains in the
abdomen causing inflammation and scar tissue. It is this inflammation
and scar tissue that causes the pain and other symptoms of
endometriosis.
Fatigue is also a symptom of endometriosis. The constant pain and
discomfort combined with the bodies fight to rid itself of the menstrual fluid can and will cause exhaustion. As the endometriosis grows and expands
it causes greater and greater fatigue. In fact women who suffer from
endometriosis run a greater chance of getting chronic fatigue syndrome.
It is important that if you think you may have endometriosis or suffer from
any of these symptoms of endometriosis that you see your OB/GYN.
