Approximately 10% of all women of reproductive age suffer from endometriosis, a disease about which very little is known and which is not yet fully explored.
This disease is actually very similar with menstrual pain. In most cases it is benign – a chronic disease of the endometrium outside the uterus that causes the occurrence of severe pain in the abdomen and back during the menstrual period.
The pain can be extremely strong, sometimes so much so that the woman may faint.
The common symptoms include:
- Increase menstrual pain
- Problems with the intestines
- Long and difficult menstrual periods
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
About 176 million women suffer from this disease, but they have no idea, and don’t take these symptoms seriously. The most commonly affected are young women in full force of life.
Here are the steps that will help you detect this treacherous disease:
Pay attention to your menstrual cramps. Are they unusually strong and expressed during the day? If you have pain in your lower back, abdomen and pelvis outside of menstruation, then you shouldn’t ignore this.
Pain during sexual intercourse is not a normal thing and this is one of the indications of endometriosis.
Abnormal bleeding or heavy bleeding during menstruation are also clear indications of the disease.
