Endometriosis is a painful condition that most frequently affects the lining of your pelvis, ovaries, and bowel.
When endometriosis affects the ovaries, endometriomas may develop. Surrounding tissue can become irritated, eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions — abnormal tissue that binds organs together. Displaced endometrial tissue that would normally act normally in endometriosis continues to act as it would normally — it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. Because this displaced tissue would normally exit your body,
Fortunately, there are effective treatments for endometriosis, which can lead to pain that can be, at times, excruciating, particularly during your period.
There are a number of potential causes for endometriosis, though the exact cause is unknown.
- Retrograde menstruation, which occurs when menstrual blood containing endometrial cells flows back through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvic cavity rather than out of the body, is the most likely cause of endometriosis. Displaced endometrial cells adhere to the surfaces of pelvic organs and the walls of the pelvis, where they continue to thicken and bleed throughout each menstrual cycle.
- Endometriosis can occur when one or more small areas of the abdominal lining transform into endometrial tissue. **Embryonic cell growth.** The cells lining the abdominal and pelvic cavities are made of embryonic cells.
- Implantation of surgical scars after procedures like hysterectomies or C-sections may result in endometrial cells adhering to the incision site.
- Transport of endometrial cells. Endometrial cells may be transported to other areas of the body by the lymphatic or blood vessels.
- Disorder of the immune system. It’s possible that an immune system issue prevents the body from recognizing and eliminating endometrial tissue that is developing outside of the uterus.
Endometriosis symptoms include some of the following:
- Dysmenorrhea, which is the medical term for painful periods, is characterized by cramping and lower back and abdominal pain that can start several days before and last through the duration of your period.
- Intercourse pain is a common symptom of endometriosis, as is sex-related pain before, during, or after.
- These symptoms are most likely to occur during your period. **Pain with bowel movements or urination**
- You might occasionally have heavy periods (menorrhagia) or experience bleeding in between periods (menometrorrhagia).
- Some women seeking treatment for infertility are the ones who are initially diagnosed with endometriosis.
- Other symptoms. Other symptoms, particularly during menstruation, include fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and nausea.
Some women with mild endometriosis experience severe pain, while others with advanced endometriosis may experience little to no pain at all, so the degree of your pain may not be a reliable indicator of the severity of the condition.
Endometriosis can be misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a condition that causes episodes of diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal cramping, or as other conditions that can cause pelvic pain, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or ovarian cysts. IBS can also coexist with endometriosis, further complicating the diagnosis.
