Patient's question:
In the past two years, I often experience lower back pain. Sometimes, my abdomen and waist also feel painful, and my legs and feet feel sore. But I don't have menstrual cramps, and I've had medical imaging done. The doctor said I have endometriosis. However, I don't have menstrual cramps, and my period usually comes about 5 or 6 days early, with a heavy flow that lasts only 4 days.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, endometriosis is generally caused by these factors: neglecting menstrual hygiene. During menstruation, women often experience pelvic congestion and uterine sensitivity. If they are overly emotional or irritable, or engage in intense exercise, especially sexual activity during the period, it may increase the chance and amount of menstrual blood flowing backward, which can lead to endometriosis.
