Endometriosis is painful! It is a common misconception that monthly or daily menstrual pain is normal. If you have been given birth control pills as a way to help with menstrual pain or have been told to “deal with the pain”, come see us at Virginia OB/GYN, we can help!
Endometriosis is a condition where the lining of the uterus grows either outside of the uterine muscle or into the muscle, with the latter known as adenomyosis. Endometriosis can spread to other sites in your body including the peritoneum, which is the lining of the pelvis, and even the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
Endometrial tissue acts as it is supposed to during your period - it grows, then breaks down and causes bleeding. Because the bleeding has no place to go, it becomes trapped in your pelvis. Ovarian cysts called endometriomas, may also form, and due to irritation of the surrounding tissues, adhesions and scar tissue may develop, causing organs to stick together. This is thought to be a cause of infertility.
