Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue from the inner lining of the uterus spreads outside the uterus. It causes inflammation in the bleeding tissue which results in excessive pain during periods.

• Abnormal menstrual bleeding: You may experience occasional heavy periods (menorrhagia) or bleeding between periods (menometrorrhagia)
• Pelvic pain: Pelvic pain and cramping may begin before your period and extend several days into your period. You may also have lower back and abdominal pain.
• Pain during or after sex: Pain during or after sex is common with endometriosis
• Pain with urination or bowel movements
