Endometriosis is a fairly common condition where bodily tissues that
act in the same way as those that are found lining the womb are found
elsewhere in the body. As a gynecological professional, Dr. Byron Brown
has helped a number of women identify the symptoms of the condition so
that they can undergo treatment. If you suffer from any of the
following, consult your doctor immediately.
Heavier Or More Painful Periods
Most women understand how they usually feel during their period and the menstrual flow that they can expect. If you find that your periods are becoming more painful than you are accustomed to or that your flow has increased, this may be a symptom of endometriosis.
Pain During Or After Sex
Sexual activity involves engaging the abdomen and sexual organs, which is where the tissues that cause endometriosis are most often found. If you find yourself experiencing pain during or after the sexual act, this may be an indicator that you suffer from the condition.
Additional Bleeding
The tissues may also cause you to bleed when you are not having a period and, in some cases, can lead to rectal bleeding or may cause the suffered to cough up blood. Even if these symptoms do not ultimately lead to a diagnosis of endometriosis, they should still prompt you to speak to a doctor immediately.
Additional Symptoms
Dr. Byron Brown notes that there are also a number of other symptoms that are often associated with more common ailments, such as stomach pain, persistent tiredness and difficulty going to the bathroom that you should keep an eye out for.
