Endometriosisis an often-painful condition in
which tissue that is similar to the inner lining
of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It often
affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the
tissue lining the pelvis. Rarely, endometriosis
growths may be found beyond the area where
pelvic organs are located.
Endometriosis tissue acts as the lining
inside the uterus would — it thickens, breaks
down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle.
But it grows in places where it doesn't belong,
and it doesn't leave the body. When
endometriosis involves the ovaries, cysts
called endometriomas may form. Surrounding
tissue can become irritated and form scar
tissue. Bands of fibrous tissue called
adhesions also may form. These can cause
pelvic tissues and organs to stick to each
other.
Endometriosis can cause pain, especially
during menstrual periods. Fertility problems
also may develop. But treatments can help
you take charge of the condition and its
complications.
Symptoms
The main symptom of endometriosis is
pelvic pain. It's often linked with menstrual
periods. Although many people have cramping
during their periods, those with endometriosis
often describe menstrual pain that's far worse
than usual. The pain also may become worse
over time.
Common symptoms of endometriosis
include:
Painful periods.
Pelvic pain and cramping
may start before a menstrual period and last
for days into it. You also may have lower back
and stomach pain. Another name for painful
periods is dysmenorrhea.
Pain with sex.
Pain during or after sex is
common with endometriosis.
Pain with bowel movements or urination.
You're most likely to have these symptoms
before or during a menstrual period.
Excessive bleeding.
Sometimes, you may
have heavy menstrual periods or bleeding
between periods.
