How Endo Affects the Female Body


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.
