In the last post we learned about what Endometriosis is, so, today I thought we could cover what the symptoms of Endometriosis are.
"Other medical conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ovarian cysts, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can mimic the symptoms of endometriosis.
Symptoms of endometriosis include:
- Severe menstrual cramps, unrelieved with NSAIDS
- Long-term lower-back and pelvic pain
- Periods lasting longer than 7 days
- Heavy menstrual bleeding where the pad or tampon needs changing every 1 to 2 hours
- Bowel and urinary problems including pain, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating
- Bloody stool or urine
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue
- Pain during intercourse
- Spotting or bleeding between periods
- Pain is the most common indication of endometriosis, but the severity of the pain does not always correlate with the extent of the disease.
Pregnancy may provide temporary relief from symptoms." Medical News Today
