Endometriosis Treatment

Understanding Endometriosis Treatment

Endometriosis is a painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. This tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. Endometriosis can cause severe pain, especially during menstruation, and can lead to fertility issues.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

Pelvic Pain

Chronic pain in the lower abdomen and pelvis.

Menstrual Irregularities

Heavy or irregular periods, and pain during menstruation.

Pain During Intercourse

Discomfort or pain during or after sexual activity.

Infertility

A type of ovarian cyst filled with old blood, associated with endometriosis.

Menstrual Cramps

Menstrual Cramps are throbbing, aching cramps you get in your lower belly just before and during your period.

Back pain during your period

Endometriosis can cause chronic lower back pain when the tissue grows in or near the back
