Cause #6: Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition that can only affect woman. It’s caused when the cells of the uterus become detached and begin to proliferate in other areas of the body, usually somewhere in the pelvic region.
The most common symptoms of endometriosis are pain, discomfort, abnormal bleeding, and infertility. It’s not a very easy condition to diagnose and can easily be confused with other menstrual problems. This problem can be reduced with pain medication and hormonal treatments, or surgery in more serious cases.
