Glam Fest GIVEAWAY for Endometriosis Foundation of America

What is endometriosis? From the Endometrisis Foundation of America, when women have their monthly menstruation, the uterine lining or endometrium is shed monthly in response to normal hormonal changes. Generally lasting from 3 to 7 days, we in turn bleed or have our “period” as its more commonly referred to.

Sometimes, some of these fluids are kept in a woman’s body and implant in areas outside of the uterus. They continue to accumulate on our bladder, bowel, ovaries and even nearby organs leading to the development of adhesions and scarring. This causes symptoms such as painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, pain with intercourse and urinary pain or difficulty.
According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, endometriosis is most common in women in their 30s and 40s, but it can occur any time in women who menstruate. No one is certain of what causes endometriosis and the first sign is pelvic pain. As always, if you are in pain, you should get yourself checked out by your gynecologist. As one of my mentors once told me “having painful periods is not normal”
