Dr. Marchese:
So when it gets severe enough that lining of the inside of the uterus can start to grow on the outside and take over the pelvic cavity and then a woman’s main symptoms are painful menstrual cramps when she cycles each month. Sometimes these cramps can be so painful that she has to stay home from work and it really affects her daily life. Other symptoms could be pain with intercourse, pain with bowel movements, pain with urination. So pain is a big sign of endometriosis.
