This may lead to pain, chronic inflammation, scarring, and adhesions.Many women with Endometriosis experience symptoms that overlap with gastrointestinal disorders, which may delay diagnosis.Common symptoms may include:
  • Pelvic pain during menstruation
  • Painful bowel movements
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Abdominal bloating

  • Lower abdominal discomfort
In some cases, women experience severe symptoms that interfere with their daily activities and comfort. Such conditions require surgical intervention.
