  2. What is endometriosis? Endometriosis occurs when the tissue, or endometrium, lining the uterus grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis most commonly affects the fallopian tubes and ovaries, as well as the tissues lining the pelvis. Although displaced from its normal location, the endometrial tissue continues to act as it does in the uterus, thickening and then breaking down and bleeding during the menstrual cycle. This causes significant pain and may eventually produce thickened fibrous tissue, or adhesions, in the pelvic region that can lead to infertility. Endometriosis usually starts a few years after menarche — onset of periods — becomes asymptomatic during pregnancy, and ends with menopause if you’re not on hormone therapy.

  3. What are the symptoms? Symptoms vary between individuals but commonly include: • Painful periods: With pelvic, lower back, and abdominal pain for several days before and after periods • Pain during or after intercourse • Pain with bowel movements or urination during periods • Excessive bleeding during periods or bleeding between periods • Infertility • Fatigue, diarrhea or constipation, nausea, bloating

  4. Are there risk factors for endometriosis? Some issues that put you at higher risk for developing endometriosis include: • Never having given birth • Starting your period early • Experiencing menopause later in life • Short menstrual cycles, less than 27 days • High estrogen levels • Uterine abnormalities or conditions that decrease the free flow of menstrual blood from the body • Low body mass index • Genetic predisposition, having several close relatives with endometriosis • Excessive alcohol consumption

  5. How common is Endometriosis?  Up to 10% of all women may have endometriosis. Many women who have endometriosis experience few or no symptoms. Some women experience severe menstrual cramps, chronic pelvic pain, or painful intercourse. In others, infertility may be the only symptom of endometriosis. Often, endometriosis is diagnosed when a woman has pelvic surgery because of a persistent ovarian cyst or other reasons. Endometriosis can affect women who have had children and can occur in teenagers and young women. Some specialists feel that endometriosis is more likely to be found in women who have never been pregnant. Endometriosis may be found in 24% to 50% of women who experience infertility and in more than 20% who have chronic pelvic pain.
