In most cases, endometriosis is subject to a hormone-induced monthly cycle, roughly that of the uterine mucosa. These foci can therefore grow cyclically and also bleed during menstruation.In contrast to the uterine lining, however, this bleeding does not reach the outside. This results in inflammatory reactions and adhesions, which can ultimately lead to adhesions, the formation of cysts and therefore also to an unfulfilled desire for children.
The symptoms and complaints of endometriosis are very diverse and can occur individually or in combination. Cyclical lower abdominal pain is the main focus, although the severity of the complaints is not always in direct proportion to the spread of endometriosis - even smaller endometriosis lesions can cause severe symptoms.
