Endometriosis Symptoms:
Could You Have It?

---

Endometriosis symptoms differ from person to person, just like menstrual cycles vary from person to person. Some women will experience more severe symptoms, whilst others may only feel mild symptoms.

---

Endometriosis occurs when tissue that is like the lining on the inside of your uterus, known as endometrium, actually grows outside the womb and in other places and on other organs of your body, where it shouldn't.
Sadly though, alot of women only discover they have endometriosis after finding out they are having trouble getting pregnant and go to get tested for their reasons for infertility.
Previously they may have thought the pain they experienced was just bad PMS.

---

The most common symptom in women with endometriosis is pelvic pain that is worse just before menstruation.

---

The pain is constant and deep and often radiates to both sides of the pelvis, lower back, abdominal region and buttocks. Some studies showed that polycystic ovaries and hyper-androgenism occur in women taking Valproate for epilepsy.
The bleeding in places outside of your uterus may cause inflammation that usually results in formation of adhesion's or scar tissue and causes symptoms such as:
- pelvic pain,
- painful intercourse,
- heavy menstrual flow,
- fatigue,
- painful bowel movements,
- constipation, and
- diarrhea.
- abdominal, back and/or pelvic pain
- infertility
- prolonged bleeding
- premenstrual spotting
- increase in frequency of urinating
- mood changes and tiredness
- bloating
- ovulation pain
- pain passing wind or urinating
This is a condition that worsens over time, because as the tissue grows and starts spreading, the symptoms become more severe and experienced for longer parts of the cycle.
