WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Endometriosis<\/span><\/a> causes your endometrium\u2014the tissue that lines your uterus every month that you then shed during your menstrual cycle\u2014to develop on organs and tissue outside of your womb or pelvic cavity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the time, the misplaced endometriosis tissue grows on other reproductive organs like your ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the outside of your uterus. It can also grow on other pelvic organs like your bladder and bowel. Rarely, endometriosis can develop on your spine or other organs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The endometrium itself can cause severe pain and other<\/span> painful symptoms<\/span><\/a>, and it can cause scarring, which contributes to<\/span> pelvic pain<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> painful intercourse<\/span><\/a> and can<\/span> interfere with your fertility<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT AGE DOES ENDOMETRIOSIS START?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Endometriosis can cause problems at any age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider a hypothetical young woman who has recently reached puberty. She’s been through sex ed and knows that her menstrual periods may be irregular, to begin with, and that cramps are normal. But her cramps are excruciating and make her want to stay home from school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The cramps also occur throughout the month, even when her next period is weeks away. Fortunately, her mother, who recognizes the symptoms, makes her an appointment with a trusted women’s health provider here at Maiden Lane Medical to get tested and treated for endometriosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you can’t count on your endometriosis symptoms subsiding when you reach menopause. While your hormone levels decline, level out, and your fertility ends, you could still have endometriosis or scar tissue on your pelvic organs that cause pelvic pain and painful intercourse.<\/span><\/p>\n
