Understanding the Pain and Symptoms of Endometriosis

Did you know endometriosis pain isn’t just about painful periods? Dr. Erin Carey explains how this condition evolves into a complex pain profile, impacting the lower abdomen, lower back, legs, and even causing bladder or bowel symptoms. Over time, pelvic floor muscles tighten, leading to a somatic pain response, and the "cross-talk" of pelvic organs triggers pain in other areas. Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition that requires comprehensive care. Let’s raise awareness and support those affected this Endometriosis Awareness Month!
