Could I have endometriosis? If you do, you're not alone.
Did you know that more than 10% of women suffer from endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when the tissue resembling the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus which then attaches itself to other organs.
The tissue breaks down and bleeds at each cycle but it has no way to exit the body.
Over time this process causes scarring, adhesions, lesions and cysts and therefore it can lead to one or more of the symptoms below:
1. Painful periods
2. Severe pelvic cramping
3. Heavy bleeding
4. Infertility
5. Pain during or after sex
6. Pain or bleeding with ovulation
7. Urinary or bowel pain
8. Constant fatigue
9. Bleeding or pain between periods
10. Digestive problems
11. Periods longer than 7 days
12. Lower back pain
If you have any of the symptoms sound familiar then come and speak to us.
Because your life matters.
