Endometriosis symptoms, when to seek help and how testing fits in
Endometriosis can affect people in different ways. If you are in Leeds or Bradford and suspect your symptoms could be linked to endometriosis, this short guide explains common signs, when to speak to a clinician, and where a non invasive test such as EndoSure may fit.
Common symptoms
- Painful or heavy periods
- Pelvic pain that does not settle
- Pain during intercourse
- Pain with bowel movements or urination during periods
- Fertility concerns
Symptoms vary. Some people have mild symptoms, others have more severe pain. Always speak to a clinician if you are concerned.
When to seek help
If pain disrupts daily life, if symptoms are getting worse, or if you are worried about fertility, book an appointment with a clinician. They can review your history and advise on next steps.
How testing fits in
Diagnosis is based on clinical assessment, with tests used to add information. A non invasive EndoSure diagnostic test can be a useful step within a care pathway. Results are reviewed by a consultant and used to guide your next steps.
