What is endometriosis?

A condition where endometrial cells (cells that line the womb) grow in other places like the ovaries. This causes pain that is worst during menstruation, but symptoms can vary. The exact cause is unclear, but it can affect women of any age. 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.

Symptoms of endometriosis

  • Low back pain

  • Abdominal pain

  • Lower left abdomen or tummy pain

  • Lower abdomen/tummy pain when passing stool

  • Painful menstrual cramps

  • Pain in the pelvis- the lowest part of the abdomen, between the belly button and groin

  • History of infertility

Questions your doctor may ask to check for endometriosis

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose endometriosis

  • Do you have pain in the lumbar back?

  • Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?

  • Do you have pain in the bottom left area of your abdomen (stomach)?

  • Do you have lower abdominal (stomach) pain when you empty your bowels?

  • Do you have severe menstrual cramps?

Treatment for endometriosis

Treatment aims to relieve symptoms with a combination of medications and surgery. Medication options include pain relievers, contraceptives, and hormone therapy. Surgery may be offered for severe disease and may help with infertility.
