How To Treat Endometriosis

Do your periods leave you in bed all day writhing in pain? It is normal to experience cramping with a menstrual cycle, but if you experience debilitating pain, you may have endometriosis. Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder in which tissue that normally grows inside the uterus will begin to grow outside of it. This tissue can grow on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or even the intestines. Endometriosis can cause a significant amount of pain when left untreated. Some of the common symptoms of the condition include painful, irregular, or abnormally heavy menstruation; pain in the lower abdomen, back, rectum, or vagina; painful intercourse; gastrointestinal problems; and infertility.
