If you answered always or sometimes to any of the above questions, you are experiencing some of the common symptoms of endometriosis.
A condition that impacts 1 in 9, endometriosis is more common than you might think. But that does not make the pain it causes normal. Many go for years undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and undergo unnecessary medical procedures that can be harmful and expensive, without resolving their issues.
At PRM, our mission is to decrease the time patients are suffering from endometriosis symptoms.
Now that you’ve taken the quiz and assessed your own symptoms, you may want to talk to someone about your specific pain – you deserve to be heard. Our team is here when you’re ready.
Common symptoms of endometriosis can range in severity from minor to debilitating. Common symptoms of endometriosis include lower abdominal pain, bloating, and pain with or after intercourse.
