Endometriosis & Women’s Health Physiotherapy

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb — often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, bowel, or pelvic walls.

This tissue responds to hormonal changes just like the uterine lining does,which can lead to inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue(adhesions).

Endometriosis can affect women of any age and may cause ongoing pelvic pain, fatigue, and challenges with fertility — but with the right care, symptoms can be managed, and quality of life can be greatly improved.

Common Symptoms of Endometriosis

You might notice:

Pelvic pain, especially before and during your period

Pain with intercourse (dyspareunia)

Pain with bowel movements or urination, especially during menstruation

Abdominal bloating or heaviness

Low back pain that worsens around your cycle

Fatigue and low energy

Fertility difficulties or irregular bleeding

Symptoms can vary from person to person — some experience severe pain, while others have mild discomfort but significant pelvic tension or restriction.
