A condition where endometrial cells (cells that line the womb) grow outside the uterus, typically near the ovaries or fallopian tubes. It is a common cause of pelvic pain, that can worsen with menstruation. The exact cause is unclear but there are several possible explanations, including the backward flow of menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, immune system disorders, or transformation of normal abdominal cells. It is typically seen in reproductive aged women, and most often diagnosed in their 30's and 40's. It can cause infertility in some patients due to scarring of the fallopian tubes.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Treatment aims to relieve symptoms with a combination of medications and surgery. Medication options include pain relievers, contraceptives, and hormonal therapy. Surgery may be offered for severe disease and may help with infertility.

This symptom checker site is a great resource to either get an idea of what is happening inside your body or even get a second opinion without incurring another huge bill. It also provides a way to connect with a professional if needed. I really enjoy this site.

I liked it better than Mayo. It lets you give more in-depth information about the symptoms you have.

I always like coming to Ubie when I have a multi-symptom problem. I have a hard time recognizing symptoms sometimes, and Ubie asks questions that help include them.

Ubie symptom checker hit the spot right away. While answering the simple questions, I'm impressed with how there are multiples to choose from, and most of them relate to what you are looking for to get a diagnosis. This app has treated me multiple times—an A++++.
