✨ Endometriosis & the Bladder

Endometriosis can affect more than just your pelvis — it can also impact your bladder! ✨

It may cause urgency, incontinence, and bladder pain, which can really affect your daily life.
Our pelvic floor physiotherapists may be able to help manage these symptoms and support your comfort and bladder control 💛

Endometriosis & Constipation 💩

Constipation isn’t just “not going regularly.”
👉 It can mean straining for more than 5 minutes, passing hard or dry stools, bleeding or haemorrhoids, or even fluctuating between constipation and diarrhoea.

For those with endometriosis, adhesions, inflammation, and pelvic floor tension can make constipation worse.

While constipation is common, persistent symptoms can sometimes signal something more serious — like bowel disease or bowel cancer — so always chat with your GP and don’t hesitate to ask about a colonoscopy if symptoms continue.

✨ Support your gut health through hydration, balanced fibre, movement, and pelvic floor relaxation.

Did you know constipation is
A common but often overlooked symptom of endometriosis?
Adhesions and inflammation can restrict bowel movement, leading to bloating, straining, and pelvic pain.

Here are a few gentle ways to help manage it 👇
💧 Stay hydrated – water helps soften stool and support digestion.
🥦 Include fibre-rich foods (veggies, fruits, whole grains) — but introduce them slowly.
🚶‍♀️ Move daily — gentle walks or stretching can stimulate the bowels.
🧘‍♀️ Try pelvic floor down-training and relaxation techniques to reduce tension.
💨 Don’t ignore the urge to go — delaying can make constipation worse.
💊 Check in with your pelvic floor physio or dietitian for tailored strategies.

Your gut and pelvic floor are closely connected — supporting one supports the other 💛

Did you know one of the most common side effects of endometriosis is chronic constipation?

Endo can cause adhesions — bands of scar tissue that make organs like the bowel stick together or move less freely. This can lead to:
💩 Chronic constipation
⚡ Pelvic and back pain
😴 Fatigue
💧 Pelvic floor dysfunction
🚻 Even bladder symptoms or incontinence

It’s not “just bloating” — these symptoms are your body’s way of saying something’s not right. The good news? With the right support — from pelvic health physio, nutrition, and medical care — you can manage these symptoms and improve quality of life. 💪

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it — often around the pelvis, ovaries, bladder, or bowel.
These cells respond to hormones just like the uterine lining, which can cause pain, inflammation, scarring, and fertility challenges.

Common symptoms include:
✨ Painful periods
✨ Pelvic or back pain
✨ Pain with in*******se or bowel movements
✨ Fatigue or bloating

It’s more common than you think!
You’re not alone, and with the right support, you can manage it and live well 💛

Our journey really began 15 years ago — when I graduated with a dream to one day create a clinic that felt safe, personal, and never made anyone feel like just another number or rushed through the door. 💫

We started small — doing home visits while I worked in another clinic, then renting a single room in New Farm, before finally taking the leap to leave my other job. From there, we grew into our better and more beautiful West End space and now have opened our second clinic on the Northside at Nurture Gynaecology. 🌸

It’s taken blood, sweat, and tears to get here — from 14-hour days and 6-day work weeks solo, to building a beautiful team of 4! 💪✨

There have been highs and lows — from feeling like a total boss one day to wondering if I’m failing the next. From shutting down during Cyclone Alfred 🌪️, to pushing through my own endometriosis diagnosis, pain, and fatigue while still showing up for my patients with a smile.

Through it all, our mission has stayed the same — to empower you to live your best life, regardless of your diagnosis or where in the circle of life you are. 💛

Watching our patients thrive and feel empowered despite their challenges — that’s our why. 🙌

I couldn’t have done it without:
💫 Our beautiful patients — your trust means everything, your stories empower us
💫 My supportive husband — from endless encouragement to washing towels late at night!
💫 My family — for their belief in me and endless support and food deliveries(very needed after long days)
💫 My cheerleading friends — you know who you are 💕

Here’s to many more years of Circle of Life Physio — helping our community thrive, grow, and feel supported through every stage of life. 🥂
