What are the clinical manifestations of endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a serious disease. Many people ignore the existence of endometriosis. People should pay attention to the treatment of endometriosis to avoid making the harm of endometriosis worse. Therefore, experts emphasize that preventing the occurrence of endometriosis is the primary task. What are the clinical manifestations of endometriosis?

1. Stool distension: It usually occurs before or after menstruation. The patient feels unbearable pain when stool passes through the rectum, but does not feel this at other times. It is a typical symptom of endometriosis in the rectouterine fossa and near the rectum. Occasionally, the ectopic endometrium reaches deep into the rectal mucosa, resulting in rectal bleeding during menstruation. Endometriotic lesions form strictures around the rectum, resulting in symptoms of tenesmus and obstruction, which is similar to cancer.

2. Excessive menstruation: In endometriosis, the menstrual volume often increases, and the menstrual period is prolonged, which may be caused by the increase of endometrium, but it is often accompanied by ovarian dysfunction.

3. Infertility: Endometriosis patients are often accompanied by infertility. The causal relationship between infertility and endometriosis is still controversial. Pelvic endometriosis can often cause adhesions around the fallopian tubes, affecting the collection of oocytes or causing tube lumen blockage. Or ovarian lesions may affect the normal ovulation and cause infertility. However, some people believe that long-term infertility and no menstrual cessation can cause the chance of endometriosis; once pregnant, the ectopic endometrium is suppressed and atrophies.

4. Pain during sexual intercourse: Endometriosis occurs in the rectouterine fossa and vaginal rectal septum, causing swelling of the surrounding tissues and affecting sexual life, and the discomfort during sexual intercourse worsens before menstruation.

The above is an introduction to the relevant content. Here, experts remind everyone that the clinical manifestations of endometriosis are sometimes inconsistent with the degree of the lesions. Therefore, everyone should treat the disease correctly, choose a regular hospital for treatment, and do not blindly self-treat, so that you can recover faster.
