What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

Many times, endometriosis has no symptoms. When symptoms are present, they may include:

  • Very painful menstrual cramps
  • Painful sex
  • Difficulty becoming pregnant
  • Abdominal cramps or back pain during menstruation
  • Painful bowel movements

There is no connection between the symptoms and severity or extent of endometriosis. In other words, patients with very mild disease may have very severe symptoms while those with significant disease may not experience significant symptoms.
