Endometriosis is a lifelong condition that can bring severe, chronic pain. Endometriosis pain may feel like:

🔴Intense period pain and cramping
🔴Severe pelvic pain
🔴Pelvic floor spasms
🔴Digestive problems, like nausea, constipation or diarrhea
🔴Severe bloating, especially during your period

The symptoms of endometriosis can be really complex, and some people have a lot of significant pain symptoms. The main symptom is very painful periods.

Your level of pain depends on factors like where your endometriosis lesions grow, whether they’re affecting your nerves, how much inflammation you have and whether you’re being treated for your condition.

Remember: You may not experience all of these symptoms. But painful periods alone are enough of a symptom to speak with a healthcare provider about the possibility of endometriosis.

Pelvic pain is the most common location of endometriosis pain. But where you specifically have pain will depend on where the disease develops within your body.

You might feel pain in your:

Back
Side
Chest
Neck
Diaphragm

The location of your pain gives your healthcare provider clues about where endometriosis has developed within your body. Sometimes, you can have endometriosis but no pain symptoms. In that case, you may not learn that you have the condition until (and unless) you try to get pregnant.
