Symptoms Of Endometriosis

Diarrhea Or Constipation

Diarrhea or constipation can occur in women with endometriosis for many of the same reasons they experience painful bowel movements. The endometrial tissue can trigger the release of extra cytotoxin-producing, non-invasive bacteria. These then trigger cytokines, an inflammatory mediator that stimulates the intestinal mucosa. This allows invasive bacteria to invade the intestinal mucosa, causing acute inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. In many cases, the immune system can't eradicate these types of invasive bacteria. Unfortunately, many invasive bacteria also release cytokines, so the cycle will continue to occur until the endometrial tissue is removed.
