For some people, especially those with endometriosis, menstrual blood can flow backward through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvis, going unnoticed.Įndometriosis can also manifest as mostly GI symptoms instead of symptoms associated with menstruation.
It is also possible that an abnormal period could be occurring without it appearing abnormal. Symptoms such as pelvic pain and abnormal menstrual cycles are common for people with endometriosis, but some people with endometriosis, even severe endometriosis, can have only a few symptoms or no symptoms at all. You do not need to be experiencing all the telltale signs of endometriosis to have endometriosis. Endometriosis can cause a constellation of symptoms that vary from person to person.
