Understanding Endometriosis Symptoms and Management
Endometriosis is a medical condition where the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it. It is not a rare condition, affecting roughly 10% (190 million) of reproductive-age women and girls globally. This means that you are not alone in dealing with this, and a global community of individuals understands what you’re going through. Endometriosis is a chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting pain during periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements, and urination. Other symptoms include chronic pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, fatigue, and sometimes depression, anxiety, and infertility. However, speaking with a healthcare professional can bring relief through an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, offering hope and reassurance. *Source the World Health Organization.

If you are experiencing pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, pain during or after sex, painful urination or bowel movements during menstruation, excessive bleeding, or fatigue, seeking help early is crucial. Remember to confidently contact a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. Speaking with a healthcare professional will provide relief through an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, offering hope and reassurance and empowering you to take control of your health and well-being.
Pelvic Physical Therapy for Managing Endometriosis Pain
Pelvic physical therapy can be beneficial for managing endometriosis pain. It focuses on improving the pelvic floor muscles’ strength, flexibility, and coordination. By working with a pelvic physical therapist, patients can learn relaxation techniques, exercises, and strategies to alleviate pelvic pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis. Additionally, physical therapy can help improve pelvic alignment and posture, which may contribute to reducing pain and improving the overall quality of life for individuals with endometriosis.
