Common Signs and Symptoms of Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disorder of the female reproductive system and one of the major causes of abdominal pain in women. This condition usually occurs when a woman is about to commence menstrual periods. In some women, endometriosis can manifest around 16 years of age while in some it can be delayed until around 25 years of age or above.

Endometriosis is often associated with many symptoms. Unfortunately, most of the symptoms are difficult to identify because they are similar to those of the menstrual cycle and other conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
