Endometriosis is a gynaecological disease affecting around1 in 10 women of childbearing age. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, mainly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder or rectum.
This tissue reacts to hormonal variations in the menstrual cycle and can cause chronic pelvic pain, heavy periods, persistent fatigue and, in some cases, fertility problems.
Symptoms of endometriosis
The most frequent signs include:
- intense, incapacitating menstrual pain,
- pain during intercourse (dyspareunia),
- cyclical digestive or urinary disorders,
- unexplained chronic fatigue,
- difficulties in conceiving.
It is important to note that theseverity of pain does not always reflect the extent of the disease. Some women may suffer from deep endometriosis without being aware of it.
What role do hormones play?
Endometriosis is ahormone-dependentdisease: it develops under the influence of estrogen. This is why hormone treatments are often proposed to relieve symptoms, limit inflammation and slow the progression of lesions.
