Patient's question:
I have been experiencing abdominal pain frequently during my menstruation recently, sometimes even accompanied by stomach pain. I have taken many medications, but they haven't been very effective. My friend said it might be caused by endometriosis.Doctor's answer:
Constipation and rectal fullness usually occur before or after menstruation. Patients experience intense pain when feces pass through the rectum, but no such sensation at other times. This is a typical symptom of endometriosis in the uterosacral pouch and near the rectum. Occasionally, the ectopic endometrium extends deeply into the rectal mucosa, leading to rectal bleeding during menstruation. When the endometriotic lesions form a stricture around the rectum, symptoms such as tenesmus and obstruction may occur, resembling cancer.Below are some highly professional hospitals for your reference:
