So it can be on your ovaries, it can be the lining of your abdominal cavity, it can be on your bladder, it can be on your bowel, anywhere, but it's just not supposed to be there.
We don't know how it got there.
There are a lot of theories, but it's there.
And so those same hormonal changes
triggers that you are getting every month to tell the lining of your uterus to grow and shed is happening—remember, it's talking to the endometrial implant that's on your bladder, and it's doing the same thing.
And chronically, it can lead to scarring because, remember, when you get your period, you're sloughing that tissue out.
Well, what happens?
It has nowhere to go.
So it's there, and that chronic inflammation—
really can cause pain, scarring, and in the worst cases, infertility.
And as I said, a lot of women walk around.
I think it is probably more underdiagnosed than PCOS because when you say one of the signs is painful periods, well, do you know how many women walk around with painful periods and they just figure, well, I'll just take more Motrin or I'll do something else or I'll just assume that that's normal?
Now, the other thing about endometriosis is that it's called really the great masquerader because suppose you have it, it's on your bowel.
And your symptoms may be, oh, I have really bad diarrhea or bowel issues or sometimes even on your bladder.
So it is causing the problems where it lands.
If you have really bad endometriosis, the scarring can make sex unbearable for women.
So, you know, again, you need to have someone to talk to who says, you know, yeah, I kind of see the pattern here.
But women are often treated individually for their symptoms.
So you've got bowel symptoms, you go see a GI doctor.
Oh, you have a bladder thing, you go see, you know, a urologist.
