Symptoms

Symptoms associated with endometriosis vary, and include a combination of;

  • painful periods
  • chronic pelvic pain
  • pain during and/or after sexual intercourse
  • painful bowel movements
  • painful urination
  • fatigue
  • depression or anxiety
  • abdominal bloating and nausea

In addition to the above, endometriosis can cause infertility. Infertility occurs due to the effects of chronic inflammation and scarring on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the uterus. Symptoms often improve after menopause. In some cases, endometriosis can be asymptomatic.
