Endometriosis is a painful female problem. Shown here is a diagram of where you can find endometriosis. Affected areas could include your uterus, tubes, ovaries, bladder, colon and other organs in your pelvic region.

If you have pain with your periods, it might be endometriosis. Additional issues may involve painful sex, bloating, urinary frequency and pain with bowel movements. If you are concerned about having endometriosis, a detailed review of your pain issues and a pelvic exam are in order. Sometimes it can be seen on ultrasound or MRI, but the true diagnosis of endometriosis is by a surgery called laparoscopy. It is treatable with medication and surgery.
