Important: This resource is for education and preparation only. If you are worried, speak to a healthcare professional or trusted adult.

Commonly reported symptoms

People with endometriosis may report painful periods, pelvic pain, pain outside period days, pain during or after sex, bowel symptoms, bladder symptoms, fatigue, nausea or fertility difficulties.

Symptoms can overlap

These symptoms can have different causes. This guide is educational and cannot tell someone whether they have endometriosis.

Impact is important

Healthcare conversations should include how symptoms affect school, work, relationships, sleep, movement, mental health and daily life.

Track before appointments

Write down timing, severity, location, triggers, bowel/bladder symptoms and what helps. This can make appointments clearer.
