10 signs you might have endometriosis

Endometriosis affects so many women around the world and many of them do not even know they have the condition. They experience abnormal conditions within their body and when they consult a doctor about them, they are often dismissed as basic female conditions that are “normal.” Some women can carry the condition for years without realizing they have it. When women try to have a baby and are unsuccessful for many months, they consult a gynecologist. It is only at this stage that many women actually discover that they have the condition.

There are many signs that you could have endometriosis, before the condition gets out of control and out of control.

1. Menstrual pain

This is the first really obvious sign that something is out of balance within the body. It’s okay to have occasional bouts of period pain, but when it becomes a matter of course that you endure the first few days of your period each month, this is not normal. When we have our period, we should notice that it is there, but we should definitely not feel pain to the point where we need to take pain relievers or ibuprofen.

2. What comes out

The second sign of endometriosis is recognizing what your period looks like. It should have a liquid consistency and a normal blood red color. Women with endometriosis will often experience dark, rancid blood and lumps during her period. It can often be stringy or even sticky. This can be a sign of endometriosis.

3. PMS

Severe feeling of premenstrual symptoms usually associated with pain during this time. The abdominal area becomes quite swollen, to the point where it often gains the size of a dress in water retention. Emotional instability is also common during this time along with sore breasts, frequent need to go to the bathroom, and symptoms of diarrhea. Symptoms of diarrhea are often experienced quite intensely and frequently by endometriosis patients. They are usually experienced 2 days before the period is due and can increase pain as cramps are also associated with it.

4. The bladder

Due to the pressure that water retention experiences within the body and endometriosis that creates pain and pressure, the bladder is often a sign of imbalance. The pressure from the way we urinate is often more of a trickle and often has to be pushed out. We are prone to bladder infections, especially after sexual intercourse. The frequency of the urge to urinate is usually higher in people with endometriosis, so you can expect to have to go to the bathroom every 2 hours. The frequency often increases before, during and after the monthly period.

5. Digestion

The digestive system is generally under pressure, as endometriosis is largely due to underactive liver function. People with endometriosis are often sensitive to fatty foods and are likely to have a more difficult time with fatty diets. Food allergies and sensitivities are also common due to poor liver function and therefore reduced immunity. People with endometriosis will often experience a “noisy stomach.” Noises, gases and other digestive functions.

6. Low immune system and allergies

People with endometriosis are prone to allergies, food sensitivities, and skin sensitivity. They likely have at least one medical condition that doctors often consider unrelated. Skin rashes, hay fever, eye allergies or sensitivity, and wheat or gluten intolerance are seen quite often in people with endometriosis. We are also prone to catching a cold or stomach bugs.

7. Feeling tired and listless

People with endometriosis are often tired and can feel quite listless. This is closely related to liver function and can be easily remedied with a proper diet. People with endometriosis are often unable to cope with being overworked or in highly stressful environments. They are likely to struggle with ongoing pressures, especially time pressures.

8. Emotional fluctuations

Due to the high levels of estrogen and progesterone in people with endometriosis, we can often experience extreme emotions. We can be very happy one minute and very sad the next. This can be attributed to endometriosis or hormonal imbalance within the body.

9. Pain in the shoulders.

Obviously, this is not a key sign of endometriosis, but if the symptoms above have already been identified, this will be added as another symptom. During the time of menstruation, especially after menstruation, it is common to experience tension in the shoulders and neck. This is compounded by emotional fluctuations within the body, but is also due to a lower level of magnesium and zinc in the body. It is an unbalanced meridian related to endometriosis.

10. Abdominal tenderness

Heartburn, indigestion, and stomach pain are also common among people with endometriosis. This is because the liver and stomach are closely related. It’s common for people with endometriosis to feel nauseous, especially around this time of the month. Unfortunately, strong pain relievers and other medications do not help cure this item, and doctors often assume that it is unrelated. Diet and endometriosis control will solve the pain and tenderness of the belly.

Endometriosis is a debilitating disease and affects many of our organs. It is often difficult to express to doctors and family what we are really experiencing. Many of these symptoms may also seem unrelated to endometriosis, and the danger is trying to focus on each symptom and each organ, rather than realizing that they are all part of the same line. Ultimately, all the organs are related to each other and work together to allow the body to function normally. Therefore, a holistic approach is required to heal the body as a whole, focusing on all the organs responsible for the disease of endometriosis.

Keep in mind that these are common symptoms of endometriosis, but they can also be signs of other conditions. Treating the body holistically will alleviate many other conditions that have these symptoms. However, it is advisable to establish the exact condition you are suffering from before applying specific curative treatments.
