Endometriosis is a disease that, in most cases, is diagnosed late. The problem lies in some of the symptoms, which can be underestimated. It is better to be aware and not to belittle.
This condition involves the appearance and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, whether in the pelvic cavity, uterine ligaments, behind the uterus, ovaries, bladder, or bowel.
SheKnows interviewed physician Jacquelyn Stone to identify some of the silent signs of endometriosis that shouldn’t be ignored. Meet them.
fertility problems
“It can cause difficulties in the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus, preventing pregnancy and leading to a miscarriage”, reveals Jacquelyn Stone.
hormonal imbalances
“Doctors may see very high estrogen levels and low progesterone levels as indicative of the disease.”
cysts on ovaries
“They could be atypical cysts, which look brown when viewed up close.”
Chronic diseases
“Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or thyroid disorders can be warning signs.”
