Endometriosis Resources
Endometriosis Resources
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain, heavy periods, and infertility. 1 in 7 women have endometriosis — approximately 570 million worldwide.
Understanding Endometriosis
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. This tissue responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, causing inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue.
Endometriosis Symptoms by Stage
| Stage/Type | Severity | Symptoms | Metastasis |
|---|
| Stage I (Minimal) | Mild | Mild or no pelvic pain; Possible infertility; Occasional dysmenorrhea | None |
| Stage II (Mild) | Mild to moderate | Moderate pelvic pain; Dysmenorrhea; Dyspareunia; Possible infertility | None |
| Stage III (Moderate) | Moderate | Chronic pelvic pain; Severe dysmenorrhea; Dyspareunia; Dyschezia; Infertility | Local spread |
| Stage IV (Severe) | Severe | Chronic, severe pelvic pain; Debilitating dysmenorrhea; Severe dyspareunia; Dyschezia; Dysuria; Infertility; Bowel/bladder dysfunction | Extensive local spread |
| Stage IV+ (Very Severe) | Very severe | All Stage IV symptoms, plus: Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE): Intense chronic pelvic pain; Severe dyspareunia; Dyschezia, bowel obstruction possible; Dysuria, hydronephrosis possible; Organ dysfunction depending on affected areas (e.g., bowel, bladder). Thoracic Endometriosis: Catamenial pneumothorax (lung collapse during menstruation); Hemoptysis (coughing up blood); Cyclic chest pain, shoulder pain, or dyspnea (shortness of breath); Hemothorax or pericardial effusion in severe cases | Extensive spread to deep tissues or distant sites such as the chest cavity |
Staging is not utilized universally, nor does staging denote the severity of pain and/or symptoms

Adenomyosis Resources
Adenomyosis Resources
Adenomyosis is a condition where endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, leading to heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and uterine enlargement. It often resolves after menopause.
Understanding Adenomyosis
What is Adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial tissue grows into the myometrium (muscular wall of the uterus). This causes the uterus to become enlarged and tender, leading to heavy, painful periods and chronic pelvic pain.
Adenomyosis Symptoms by Type and Stage
| Type/Stage | Severity | Symptoms | Metastasis |
|---|
| Focal Adenomyosis | Mild to severe | Localized uterine pain or tenderness; Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia); Dysmenorrhea (painful periods); Dyspareunia (painful intercourse); Pelvic pressure or fullness; Possible infertility | Localized uterine involvement |
| Diffuse Adenomyosis | Moderate to severe | Diffuse uterine pain or tenderness; Severe menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding); Chronic pelvic pain; Dyspareunia; Significant uterine enlargement (“boggy” uterus); Anemia due to heavy bleeding; Infertility or miscarriage risk | Extensive uterine involvement |
| Stage 1: Early | Mild | Minimal infiltration of endometrial tissue into the uterine wall; Symptoms often mild or non-existent | None |
| Stage 2: Moderate | Moderate | Increased infiltration of uterine wall tissue; Heavy and painful periods; Bloating and discomfort during intercourse | None |
| Stage 3: Severe | Severe | Severe infiltration leading to distortion of uterine shape; Escalating menstrual pain and flow intensity | Possible localized spread |
| Stage 4: Advanced | Very severe | Extensive tissue infiltration causing significant uterine damage; Chronic pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, and painful intercourse | Potential damage to surrounding structures |
Diagnosis
Current Diagnostic Methods
- Pelvic Exam: May reveal an enlarged, tender uterus
- Ultrasound: Transvaginal ultrasound can detect uterine wall thickening
- MRI: Most accurate imaging method for adenomyosis diagnosis
- Hysterectomy: Definitive diagnosis requires examination of the uterus post-hysterectomy
Potential Indicators
- Decidual Casts - tissue casts passed during menstruation
- Excessive bleeding during periods
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Uterine enlargement
Treatment Options
Medical Treatments
- Hormonal Therapy: Birth control pills, progestins, GnRH agonists
- Pain Management: NSAIDs, stronger pain medications for severe cases
- Uterine Artery Embolization: Minimally invasive procedure to reduce blood flow
Surgical Treatments
- Hysterectomy: Most effective treatment, especially for those not planning pregnancy

Myths & Facts
Crisis & Mental Health Support
If you or someone you know is in crisis or struggling with chronic pain, please reach out:
Myth 1: “It’s just a bad period”
Fact: Endometriosis is a systemic, inflammatory disease where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus — on the bowel, bladder, diaphragm, and other organs. It causes chronic pain, organ damage, and infertility. It is not a variant of normal menstruation.
“Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, which induces a chronic, inflammatory reaction.” — World Health Organization (WHO)
Myth 2: “Pregnancy cures endometriosis”
Fact: Pregnancy does not cure endometriosis. Some people experience temporary symptom relief during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, but the disease persists and symptoms typically return afterward. Endometriosis can also make it harder to become pregnant in the first place.
“Pregnancy does not cure endometriosis… symptoms may recur after pregnancy.” — American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
Myth 3: “Hysterectomy cures endometriosis”
Fact: Hysterectomy removes the uterus, but endometriosis grows outside the uterus. If lesions on the bowel, bladder, or other sites are not excised, pain and disease progression can continue after hysterectomy. Hysterectomy may help with adenomyosis specifically but is not a guaranteed cure for endometriosis.
“Hysterectomy is not a cure for endometriosis… disease can persist or recur if lesions outside the uterus are not removed.” — Endometriosis Foundation of America (EndoFound)
Myth 4: “Endometriosis only affects the reproductive system”
Fact: Endometriosis has been found on the bowel, bladder, diaphragm, lungs, liver, sciatic nerve, and even the brain. It is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, autoimmune conditions, and a 31% increased risk of early mortality.
“Endometriosis is associated with increased risks of several chronic diseases… including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions, and certain cancers.” — BMJ 2024
Myth 5: “You’re too young to have endometriosis”
Fact: Endometriosis has been diagnosed in adolescents as young as 10–11 years old. Dismissing young patients’ pain leads to the current average diagnostic delay of 7–10 years.
“Endometriosis in adolescents is a significant clinical entity… early diagnosis and treatment can prevent progression of disease.” — PMC: Endometriosis in Adolescents
Myth 6: “Birth control cures endometriosis”
Fact: Hormonal birth control can suppress symptoms by reducing menstruation, but it does not eliminate endometriosis lesions. The disease can progress silently while symptoms are masked. Stopping hormonal treatment typically leads to symptom return.
“Hormonal treatments suppress the disease but do not eradicate it… the recurrence rate after discontinuation is high.” — ESHRE Guideline on Endometriosis
Myth 7: “It’s just a low pain tolerance”
Fact: People with endometriosis experience central sensitization — their nervous system amplifies pain signals due to years of chronic inflammation. Research shows measurable changes in how the brain and spinal cord process pain. This is neurological, not psychological.
“Central sensitization contributes to the chronic pain experienced by women with endometriosis… manifesting as hyperalgesia and allodynia.” — PMC: Central Sensitization in Endometriosis
Myth 8: “Endometriosis is caused by lifestyle choices”
Fact: Endometriosis is not caused by diet, exercise habits, stress, or any lifestyle choice. The exact cause is unknown, but research points to genetic factors, immune dysfunction, and possibly stem cell involvement. No one is to blame for having this disease.
“The cause of endometriosis is unknown… there is no known way to prevent it.” — World Health Organization (WHO)

RPN-002 (nolasiban) is a first-in-disease and first-in-class molecular entity to manage adenomyosis and increase the probability of embryo implantation in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments.
- Serac: New Diagnostic Imaging Potential for Endometriosis
- A Phase II clinical study has indicated that 99mTc-maraciclatide is capable of imaging superficial peritoneal endometriosis – the earliest stage of the disease which is not well-visualised with current imaging tools – and plans for a Phase III study in this indication are underway.
- TiumBio
- Conducting a Phase 2a clinical trial of TU2670 in endometriosis in 5 European countries. TU2670 is an oral GnRH antagonist that can bind to pituitary receptors to suppress estradiol hormone.
Potential Causes
- Fusobacterium Infection
- Researchers in Japan have identified a particular kind of bacteria in those with endometriosis by examining the microbes inhabiting the endometrium. Of 155 patients with endometriosis, 64% had a Fusobacterium infection. Only 7% of patients without endometriosis carried the bacteria. Further research showed that by introducing the infection to mice to replicate the disease, the infection can be treated with cheap and widely available antibiotics. With evidence that Fusobacterium may contribute to the growth of endometriosis, further research will be conducted in humans on the potential of antibiotics as a treatment.
