10 Signs of Endometriosis
Endometriosis Sign #6: Tender Nodules
Nodules refer to solid and elevated areas of fluid and tissue that is greater than 0.5 centimeters. Nodules can develop on muscles, tendons, vocal cords, and organs. One of the hallmark findings upon examination of a patient is the presence of tender nodular masses along the posterior uterus, thickened uterosacral ligaments, or the posterior cul-de-sac.
In some cases, a bluish nodule can also be seen in the vagina when there is infiltration from the posterior vaginal wall.
