A member asked:

Is it normal for endometriosis symtoms to feel worse around periods?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Endometriosis is uterine tissue in places other than your uterus. Just like your uterine tissue bleeds during your period in response to hormones, the endometriosis can bleed during your period in response to hormones, which can cause pain.
