Did you know? one in ten women suffers or will suffer from endometriosis? However, it is a disease that is given very little visibility.
The origin is multifactorial (genetics, environment, lifestyle, work…) and is characterized by the presence of active cells similar to those of the endometrium, which are deposited outside the uterine cavity and cause chronic inflammation.
Symptoms of endometriosis
The most common symptoms are:
– Heavy menstrual bleeding and small bleeding between menstruation or after intercourse
– Dysmenorrhea
– Chronic pelvic pain
– Intestinal problems
– Sexual dysfunction
– Dysuria
– Pain during defecation
– Backache
– Chronic fatigue

Treatment of endometriosis
The treatment of endometriosis must be multidisciplinary and must include:
– Specialists in gynaecology, urology, digestion, psychology…
– Must include the immune, nervous, myofascial and visceral systems
– Must address the psychosocial sphere

Physiotherapy plays a fundamental role in treatment thanks to:
– Approach to myofascial pain syndrome and associated central sensitization
– Address sexual dysfunctions
