Menstrual pains can interfere with day-to-day life. One of the reasons behind menstrual pains can be endometriosis. This is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is located outside the uterus and can cause the following symptoms:

• Pains in the lower stomach and/or back
• Strong menstrual pains or cramps
• Pain during or after intercourse 
• Pain while urinating
• Heavy bleeding during menstruation
• Issues with conception

Endometriosis is a common disease that can occur in women of all ages and can have a significant impact on their daily lives, both physically and mentally.

As the symptoms are similar to symptoms of other diseases, diagnosing endometriosis can be complicated. Endometriosis is found in a lot of women who are examined for issues with conceiving. At the same time, endometriosis may not always lead to infertility.

The Valvekliinik gynaecologist can find the reasons behind complaints during the examinations and can refer you to further tests if needed. Pain caused by endometriosis can be reduced by 80-90% with proper treatment.
