Since cysts can be found around the pelvis and abdominal area there are many non-specific symptoms that complicate diagnosis of the disease. The main expression of the disease is abdominal and pelvic pain, but it is not known for certain why endometriosis causes pain.
Other signs include:
- Chronic fatigue
- Very strong menstrual cramps
- Infertility - with a specific incidence of polycystic ovaries too
- Other gynecological problems - with specific frequency - uterine abnormalities (uterine partition, bicornuate uterus)
- Intestinal problems
- Pain when urinating
- Pain during or after sex
- Autoimmune diseases
- Allergies
