What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant.

  • Painful periods: Pelvic pain and cramping may start before a menstrual period and last for days into it
  • Pain with sex: Pain during or after sex is common with endometriosis
  • Pain with bowel movements or urination
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Infertility
  • Other symptoms

Even more concerning than the pain, heavy bleeding, and life-interrupting symptoms endometriosis causes, are the additional complications that can arise when the condition isn't treated, including: Infertility (endometriosis is one of the top causes of female infertility) Ovarian cysts and adhesion

Endometriosis, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This leads to inflammation and scar tissue forming in the pelvic region and (rarely) elsewhere in the body. The cause of endometriosis is unknown. There is no known way to prevent endometriosis.

At present, there is no known way to prevent endometriosis. Enhanced awareness, followed by early diagnosis and management may slow or halt the natural progression of the disease and reduce the long-term burden of its symptoms, including possibly the risk of central nervous system pain sensitization.

  • Never giving birth
  • Starting your period at an early age
  • Going through menopause at an older age
  • Short menstrual cycles — for instance, less than 27 days
  • Heavy menstrual periods that last longer than seven days
