Endometriosis is more than just bad cramps
The most common symptoms are:
Painful periods:
Doctors call this dysmenorrhea (DIS-men-uh-REE-uh). Period pain, or menstruation pain, usually begins right before a woman’s period starts and then continues throughout her period.
Pelvic pain in between periods:
Doctors call this non-menstrual pelvic pain. This pain can be intermittent (on and off again), or it can be constant throughout the month. It can often be described as dull, throbbing, or even sharp.
Pain with sex:
Doctors call this dyspareunia (DIS-puh-ROO-nee-uh). The pain can occur as soon as sex begins, during sex, or even after it ends. And it can sometimes last for up to several hours later.
