Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus—often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic tissue.
This tissue responds to hormonal changes and can cause:
• Painful periods
• Pelvic pain (before, during, or after periods)
• Pain with s*x
• Heavy or irregular bleeding
• Fertility challenges
Endometriosis affects about 1 in 10 women, yet many experience long delays in diagnosis. If period pain is disrupting your life, it’s not “normal,” and help is available.
