Symptoms

Symptoms of endometriosis include pelvic pain. Such pain may occur with intercourse, during bowel movements or urination, or just before a menstrual cycle. Endometriosis may also cause spotting or infertility. Although these symptoms may be a sign of en-dometriosis, they could also be signs of other problems. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor.

The amount of pain does not tell you how severe your condition is. For example, some women with slight pain may have a severe case, whereas others who have a lot of pain may have a mild case.

Some women with endometriosis have no symptoms. In fact, they may first find out that they have endometriosis if they are unable to get pregnant. Endometriosis is found in about one third of infertile women. Women often find that symptoms are relieved while they are pregnant. In fact, many of the products used to relieve endometriosis are based on the hormonal effects of pregnancy.
