Happy Endometriosis Awareness Month! I am back again with my mission to spread awareness about Endo because we are still searching for a cure. Below are real diagrams of how Endometriosis affects a woman's reproductive organs. These diagrams primarily show the cysts that can grow on the ovaries, Fallopian Tubes, and lining of the vagina. This causes extreme pain, especially having a reproductive system looking like the last diagram. There are large cysts, overgrown tissue, and adhesions to a point where the ovaries cannot even be seen.
Affects of Endo on the Body:
- Extreme fatigue
- Inflammation of organs
- May cause infertility
- Extremely painful menstrual cycles
- Painful bowel movements
- Lower back and pelvic pain
Endometriosis affects the female body in many different ways, pelvic pain isn't the only that comes with Endo.
