10 Endometriosis Symptoms
Symptom #6: Fatigue
It is well known that fatigue is one of the most intense and frequent symptoms of this condition. Fatigue among patients with endometriosis is often described as a feeling of constant exhaustion, as if being “tranquilized”. Patients also describe that they are unable to complete their daily activities. Although the mechanism for fatigue in endometriosis is not completely understood, chronic pain plays an important role in its etiology.
Also, the inflammation seen as a response to lesions and the activation of the immune system might be involved in fatigue. Sadly, this symptom is often neglected and frequently goes unnoticed. In the treatment of endometriosis, addressing fatigue, in addition to chronic pain and infertility, is essential to improve the quality of life of these patients.
