Why Endometriosis is More Than Just Pain
Endometriosis is not just a “bad period”. It is a complex inflammatory condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in other areas of the pelvic cavity. Even though this tissue is in the wrong place, it still responds to your monthly hormonal cycle, causing significant inflammation, internal scarring, and adhesions that can make your organs stick together. This is why the pain can feel so multifaceted, presenting as a constellation of symptoms that can shift throughout your cycle, and often overlaps with other conditions.
