Symptoms of Endometriosis

Symptoms of endometriosis could vary vastly from patient to patient and some women never feel any symptoms at all. The phase of the endometriosis paradoxically doesn´t have an effect on amount of experienced pain. So it could happen that woman whose endometriosis is in an advanced stage will not notice any symptoms, therefore she would not know about her disease. The discovery could come up during a regular pelvic exam or when dealing with infertility issues.

The endometriosis symptoms however in most of the cases have huge negative influence on woman´s life and that’s a reason to identify them and decide to finish up with this painful illness. The following symptoms are the most common symptoms of endometriosis. But remember that they vary: one woman can have them all, another one just few and the last one none of them.

But probably higher number of women does experience symptoms of endometriosis and they are not pleasant, I can tell you. One of the symptoms may be unusually painful periods, maybe accompanied by anomalous heavy bleeding. Lot of women feel pain during urination and bowel movements too during their menstruation. Characteristics of the menstrual pain are mild to severe cramps in abdomen that deteriorates over time as the illness is spreding out more and more.

Premenstrual spotting or spotting in between periods also belongs to the usual endometriosis symptoms. Endo sufferers often mention tenderness of the pelvis area during ovulation. Some women experience constant pelvic soreness or pain in the lower back that radiates down each leg that is aggravated during menses or intercourse.

Dysparunia, means feeling pain during intercourse, is also featured as a typical symptom – negatively disturbing a person´s life. Painful intercourse actually belongs to the most common symptoms of endometriosis, especially in the more advanced or severe stages. Often at the earlier stages the pain appear likely on the side of pelvis. Later on it can occur anywhere in the pelvic area. This pain causes high discomfort during the intercourse and can trigger psychological problems in this area of life. Later on, this pain can play a role in ensuing infertility.

Speaking about infertility, it is also one of the endometriosis symptoms. Approximately 30-40 percent of women with endometriosis experience infertility issues.

Finding a blood in the stool or urine, urgent and frequent urinary, bladder pain or bleeding after intercourse – all of these could also be symptoms of endometriosis. These would indicate that the endometriosis invaded the bladder. Also the ureter can be invaded by endometriosis and result in injuring the kidney or ureter (tube between the kidney and the bladder).

Some women can loose ability to get over infections, some women may develop allergies. These troubles often come with aggravation and exhaustion.

Lot of symptoms of endometriosis are similar to symptoms of more well-known illnesses and therefor could be mistakenly considered for something else. That could be pelvic adhesions, dysmenorrhea, migrane, colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. Because lot of people don´t know that endometriosis can affect also other than reproductive organs, symptoms like the bowel irritation could be easily overlooked. Bowel symptoms due to endometriosis include diarrhoea, constipation, alternating bouts of diarrhoea and constipation, painful bowel movements, abdominal bloating, nausea and vomiting.

Pain can be experienced during, after or before period, and can be cyclic but also acyclic. It can also arise during exercise, at rest, during or after intercourse or after a pelvic examination.

At the time of pregnancy the symptoms of endometriosis may pause. Symptoms also tend to decrease with menopause, when menstrual periods end for good. When on menopausal hormonal therapy the woman still could experience symptoms of endometriosis.
As a recap I must say that the symptoms of endometriosis bring lot of pain to woman´s life. Aside from the pain, the endometriosis can start off more serious medical problems, e.g. infertility. It really is obvious that women troubled with this undesirable illness seek how to eliminate it. There are various ways regarding endometriosis treatment. The one that helped myself is a natural treatment. Here you will find out more information about the endometriosis natural treatment.
