Endometriosis

The most common symptom of endometriosis is pain. Some women don't have any symptoms at all, but if they do appear, you might notice

• Pelvic discomfort
• Pain during intercourse
• Painful menstrual periods
• In the week leading up to your period, you may experience pain
• Pain while urination
• Pain during bowel movement

The degree of your pain does not always indicate the extent of your endometriosis. Endometriosis can present as a little area of pain or as widespread endometriosis with relatively minor pain. It may be challenging to get pregnant if you have endometriosis. The majority of women who don't experience symptoms discover they have endometriosis during an infertility evaluation. Approximately 40% of women who are unable to get pregnant have endometriosis. A routine examination can help you stay healthy in many ways.
